Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 2:1-22

Chapter 2False prophets have always been around. Now they don't wear signs, "I'm a false prophet". They come in sheep's clothing. They look like sheep. They come sometimes dripping with love and phrases of love. And a lot of times you listen to them and say, "Boy, they're good. They really speak a lot of truth". And that's why they are able to deceive. If a false prophet only said false things, no one would be deceived by them. But usually what they say is ninety-five percent true. And thus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Peter 2:1-22

2 Peter 2:1 . False teachers who bring in damnable heresies. Sects leading to perdition, and to the extreme of punishment. Who were they? They were yet to come, in part; the roots only began as yet to shoot; hence the apostle says, there shall be false teachers among you. Now these were roots, or offsets of the gnostics or knowing ones. This sect boasted of superior knowledge, and assumed superior liberty. They broke through the oriental restraint, and introduced women to their feasts.... read more

2 Peter 2:4-10If God spared not the angels that sinned.Angelic sinnersI. That they are the most ancient sinners. They were the first transgressors of Heaven’s eternal law.1. The uniqueness of their circumstances. They had no tempter. Adam had; so has his race ever since; so have we. All their propensities were in favour of holiness.2. The force of their freedom. Having neither an outward tempter nor an inward propensity to wrong, they must have risen up against all the external circumstances... read more

2 Peter 2:8Make merchandise of you.False teachers as merchantmenThe apostle here makes a continuation of their sins and a declaration of their plagues. They extend the thread of their mischief very long, till hell fire burn it off. They broach heresies, corrupt multitudes, sell souls, as merchants do their wares; cozen men’s consciences, colour foul natures with fair words, blaspheme the gospel, deny Jesus Christ. Oh, how constant and long-winded are they in their wickedness! But there is a... read more

2 Peter 2:10Them that walk after the flesh,… and despise government.Walking after the fleshNow from the thesis he accommodates the general doctrine to his own purpose. If God will take vengeance on all the wicked, let not these pernicious seducers think to escape.1. They follow “the flesh,” not reason, much less the Spirit.2. They “walk after” the flesh: the flesh is not like some stranger, whom they meet rarely; or some friend, whom they see but now and then; or a domestic companion, with whom... read more

2 Peter 2:11Whereas angels … bring not railing accusation Lessons from the angelsFrom this angelical moderation we learn--1.Not to accuse. This is one of the most significant names of the devil, to be an accuser of the brethren. Love covers a multitude of sins; malice discovers what should be concealed.2. Not to rail. This is indeed properly the language of hell. Angels do not rail, devils do; angels do not curse, devils do. Your curse is an arrow shot against a stone, it shall wound... read more

2 Peter 2:12But these, as natural brute beasts.Men like beastsI. Their resemblance.1. What they are like--beasts. You have read many fables and apologues, wherein beasts are feigned to speak like men; but who would endure that theatre, where men be seen to play the beast? Such is the power of sin, it can transform men into beast. While idolaters turn beasts into gods, they turn themselves into beasts.2. Wherein they are like them.(1) The whole intendment of the beast is sensuality; and so of... read more
