3 From the Book of 2 Peter is: 2 Peter 2
1- Although we
have the lamp of prophecy it is necessary to beware of false teachers. Note
from today’s passage the forms of evil in which the false teachers of whom the
apostle speaks, indulged. By which are you most liable to the snared? How far is this kind of behaviour seen in
modern society? How would you meet the claim of those who profess to be free
from the restraints of convention (verse 19, cf. Jn. 8:34-36)? Cf. verse 20
with Mt. 12:43-45; Heb. 6:4-8.
Note.
Verses 4-10 are parenthetical, interrupting the description of the false
teachers which is resumed in 10b.
