2 Peter 2:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 And shall receive the wages of unrighteousness, as they which count it pleasure daily to live deliciously. [a]Spots they are and blots, delighting themselves in their deceivings, [b]in feasting with you.
14 [c]Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls, they have hearts exercised with covetousness, they are the children of curse:
15 Which forsaking the right way, have gone astray following the way of (A)Balaam, the son of Beor, which loved the wages of unrighteousness.

- 2 Peter 2:13 When as by being amongst the Christians in the holy banquets which the Church keepeth, they would seem by that means to be true members of the Church, yet they are indeed but blots on the Church.
- 2 Peter 2:14 He condemneth those men, as showing even in their behavior and countenance an inmeasurable lust, as making merchandise of the souls of light persons, as men exercised in all the crafts of covetousness, to be short, as men that sell themselves for money to curse the Sons of God after Balaam’s example, whom the dumb beast reproved.
