WEBVTT 00:01.030 --> 00:07.690 Chapter Two But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall 00:07.690 --> 00:11.810 be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, 00:12.350 --> 00:17.070 even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift 00:17.070 --> 00:17.770 destruction. 00:18.970 --> 00:23.230 And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth 00:23.230 --> 00:24.890 shall be evil spoken of. 00:25.850 --> 00:30.670 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, 00:31.090 --> 00:34.970 whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation 00:34.970 --> 00:36.110 slumbereth not. 00:37.010 --> 00:41.350 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, 00:41.550 --> 00:46.310 and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment, and spared 00:46.310 --> 00:50.790 not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of 00:50.790 --> 00:55.050 righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, and turning the 00:55.050 --> 00:59.010 cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, 00:59.590 --> 01:05.130 making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly, and deliver 01:05.130 --> 01:08.570 just lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked. 01:08.910 --> 01:13.710 For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his 01:13.710 --> 01:17.190 righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. 01:17.950 --> 01:23.150 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the 01:23.150 --> 01:25.910 unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. 01:25.910 --> 01:32.750 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise 01:32.750 --> 01:38.550 government, presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak 01:38.550 --> 01:39.890 evil of dignities. 01:40.990 --> 01:46.180 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation 01:46.450 --> 01:52.610 against them before the Lord, but these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken 01:52.610 --> 01:58.010 and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not, and shall 01:58.010 --> 02:02.310 utterly perish in their own corruption, and shall receive the reward of 02:02.310 --> 02:06.930 unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. 02:07.550 --> 02:12.790 Spots they are, and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own 02:12.790 --> 02:19.430 deceivings while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery, and that 02:19.430 --> 02:26.630 cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls, and heart they have exercised with 02:26.630 --> 02:32.290 covetous practices, cursed children, which have forsaken the right way and are 02:32.290 --> 02:38.050 gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of 02:38.050 --> 02:41.130 unrighteousness, but was rebuked for his iniquity. 02:41.570 --> 02:45.890 The dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet. 02:46.750 --> 02:51.490 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest, 02:51.490 --> 02:54.650 to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever. 02:55.630 --> 03:00.970 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts 03:00.970 --> 03:03.750 of the flesh, through much wantonness. 03:04.470 --> 03:07.790 Those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 03:08.850 --> 03:12.110 While they promised them liberty, they themselves are the servants of 03:12.110 --> 03:12.530 corruption. 03:13.310 --> 03:18.890 For of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 03:19.510 --> 03:23.210 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the 03:23.210 --> 03:28.010 knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, 03:28.490 --> 03:33.850 and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 03:34.790 --> 03:38.390 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, 03:38.930 --> 03:42.570 than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment 03:42.570 --> 03:43.450 delivered unto them. 03:44.550 --> 03:47.770 But it has happened unto them, according to the true proverb, 03:48.350 --> 03:54.730 the dog is turned to his own vomit again, and the sow that was washed, to her 03:54.730 --> 03:56.090 wallowing in the mire.
