WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Бы́ша же и҆ лжи́вїи проро́цы въ лю́дехъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ бꙋ́дꙋтъ лжи́вїи ᲂу҆чи́телїе, и҆̀же внесꙋ́тъ є҆́рєси поги́бели, и҆ и҆скꙋ́пльшагѡ и҆̀хъ влⷣки ѿмета́ющесѧ, приводѧ́ще себѣ̀ ско́рꙋ поги́бель.
1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 И҆ мно́зи послѣ́дствꙋютъ и҆́хъ нечистота́мъ, и҆́хже ра́ди пꙋ́ть и҆́стинный похꙋ́литсѧ.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 И҆ въ преꙋмноже́нїи льсти́выхъ слове́съ ва́съ ᲂу҆ловѧ́тъ: и҆́хже сꙋ́дъ и҆сконѝ не косни́тъ, и҆ поги́бель и҆́хъ не дре́млетъ.
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
4 А҆́ще бо бг҃ъ а҆́ггелѡвъ согрѣши́вшихъ не пощадѣ̀, но плени́цами мра́ка свѧза́въ, предадѐ на сꙋ́дъ мꙋ́чимыхъ блюстѝ:
4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment;
5 и҆ пе́рвагѡ мі́ра не пощадѣ̀, но ѻ҆сма́го нѡ́а пра́вды проповѣ́дника сохранѝ, пото́пъ мі́рꙋ нече́ствовавшихъ наведѐ:
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
6 и҆ гра́ды содѡ́мскїѧ и҆ гомѡ́ррскїѧ сже́гъ, разоре́нїемъ ѡ҆сꙋдѝ, ѡ҆́бразъ хотѧ́щымъ нече́ствовати положи́въ:
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
7 и҆ првⷣнаго лѡ́та, ѡ҆би́дима ѿ беззако́нныхъ въ нечистотѣ̀ сожи́тїѧ, и҆зба́ви:
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 видѣ́нїемъ бо и҆ слꙋ́хомъ пра́ведный, живы́й въ ни́хъ, де́нь ѿ днѐ дꙋ́шꙋ првⷣнꙋ беззако́нными дѣ́лы мꙋ́чаше:
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
9 вѣ́сть гдⷭ҇ь бл҃гочⷭ҇ти̑выѧ ѿ напа́сти и҆збавлѧ́ти, непра́ведники же на де́нь сꙋ́дный мꙋ̑чимы блюстѝ,
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
10 наипа́че же в̾слѣ́дъ плотскі́ѧ по́хоти скверне́нїѧ ходѧ́щыѧ и҆ ѡ҆ госпо́дствѣ нерадѧ́щыѧ: продерза́телє, себѣ̀ ᲂу҆гѡ́дницы, сла́вы не трепе́щꙋтъ хꙋ́лѧще:
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
11 и҆дѣ́же а҆́гг҃ли крѣ́постїю и҆ си́лою бѡ́льши сꙋ́ще, не терпѧ́тъ на сѧ̀ ѿ гдⷭ҇а ᲂу҆кори́зненъ сꙋ́дъ.
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
12 Сі́и же, ꙗ҆́кѡ ско́ти живо́тни є҆стество́мъ бы́вше въ поги́бель и҆ тлю̀, въ ни́хже не разꙋмѣ́ютъ хꙋ́лѧще, во и҆стлѣ́нїи свое́мъ и҆стлѣ́ютъ,
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 прїе́млюще мздꙋ̀ непра́веднꙋ, сла́сть мнѧ́ще вседне́вное насыще́нїе, скверни́тєли и҆ поро́чницы, пита́ющесѧ лестьмѝ свои́ми, ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще съ ва́ми,
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
14 ѻ҆́чи и҆мꙋ́ще и҆спо́лнь блꙋдодѣѧ́нїѧ и҆ непреста́емагѡ грѣха̀, прельща́юще дꙋ́шы неꙋтверждє́ны, се́рдце наꙋче́но лихои́мствꙋ и҆мꙋ́ще, клѧ́твы ча̑да:
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
15 ѡ҆ста́вльше пра́вый пꙋ́ть заблꙋди́ша, послѣ́довавше пꙋтѝ валаа́ма восо́рова, и҆́же мздꙋ̀ непра́веднꙋ возлюбѝ,
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
16 ѡ҆бличе́нїе же и҆мѣ̀ своегѡ̀ беззако́нїѧ: под̾ѧре́мникъ безгла́сенъ, человѣ́ческимъ гла́сомъ провѣща́вшь, возбранѝ проро́ка безꙋ́мїе.
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
17 Сі́и сꙋ́ть и҆сто́чницы безво́дни, ѡ҆́блацы и҆ мглы̑ ѿ вѣ́тръ преноси́ми, и҆̀мже мра́къ те́мный во вѣ́ки блюде́тсѧ.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
18 Прегѡ́рдаѧ бо сꙋеты̀ вѣща́юще, прельща́ютъ въ сквє́рны плотскі́ѧ по́хоти, ѿбѣга́ющихъ всѧ́чески ѿ ни́хъ живꙋ́щихъ во льстѝ,
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 свобо́дꙋ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆бѣщава́юще, са́ми рабѝ сꙋ́ще тлѣ́нїѧ: и҆́мже бо кто̀ побѣжде́нъ быва́етъ, семꙋ̀ и҆ рабо́тенъ є҆́сть.
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
20 А҆́ще бо ѿбѣ́гше скве́рнъ мі́ра въ ра́зꙋмъ гдⷭ҇а и҆ сп҃са на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, си́ми же па́ки спле́тшесѧ побѣжда́еми быва́ютъ, бы́ша и҆̀мъ послѣ̑днѧѧ гѡ́рша пе́рвыхъ.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21 Лꙋ́чше бо бѣ̀ и҆̀мъ не позна́ти пꙋтѝ пра́вды, не́жели позна́вшымъ возврати́тисѧ вспѧ́ть ѿ пре́данныѧ и҆̀мъ ст҃ы́ѧ за́повѣди.
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 Слꙋчи́сѧ бо и҆̀мъ и҆́стиннаѧ при́тча: пе́съ возвра́щьсѧ на свою̀ блево́тинꙋ, и҆: свинїѧ̀, ѡ҆мы́вшисѧ, въ ка́лъ ти́нный.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 2:6–9 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters VII–XIII)

    … saved out of Sodom when all the country round was punished by means of fire and brimstone, the Lord thus making it manifest that He does not forsake those that hope in Him, but gives up such as depart from Him to punishment and torture. For Lot's wife, who went forth with him, being of a different mind from himself …

  2. Quotes verse 2:4 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XI, Chapters 30–33)

    … incarcerated till their final damnation in the day of judgment, the Apostle Peter very plainly declares, when he says that "God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved into judgment." Who, then, can doubt that God, either in foreknowledge or in act, separated between these …

  3. Quotes verse 2:4 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapter 20)

    … that time have so fallen, nor can I think that it is of them the Apostle Peter said, "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment." I think he rather speaks of these who first apostatized from God, along with their …

  4. Quotes verse 2:19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIX, Chapter 14)

    … one who doeth sin is the servant of sin." And thus there are many wicked masters who have religious men as their slaves, and who are yet themselves in bondage; "for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage." And beyond question it is a happier thing to be the slave of a man …
