King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. But[G1161] there were[G1096] false prophets[G5578] also[G2532] among[G1722] the[G3588] people,[G2992] even[G2532] as[G5613] there shall be[G2071] false teachers[G5572] among[G1722] you,[G5213] who[G3748] privily shall bring in[G3919] damnable[G684] heresies,[G139] even[G2532] denying[G720] the[G3588] Lord[G1203] that bought[G59] them,[G846] and bring upon[G1863] themselves[G1438] swift[G5031] destruction.[G684]

2. And[G2532] many[G4183] shall follow[G1811] their[G846] pernicious ways;[G684] by reason of[G1223] whom[G3739] the[G3588] way[G3598] of truth[G225] shall be evil spoken of.[G987]

3. And[G2532] through[G1722] covetousness[G4124] shall they with feigned[G4112] words[G3056] make merchandise[G1710] of you:[G5209] whose[G3739] judgment[G2917] now of a long time[G1597] lingereth[G691] not,[G3756] and[G2532] their[G846] damnation[G684] slumbereth[G3573] not.[G3756]

4. For[G1063] if[G1487] God[G2316] spared[G5339] not[G3756] the angels[G32] that sinned,[G264] but[G235] cast them down to hell,[G5020] and delivered[G3860] them into chains[G4577] of darkness,[G2217] to be reserved[G5083] unto[G1519] judgment;[G2920]

5. And[G2532] spared[G5339] not[G3756] the old[G744] world,[G2889] but[G235] saved[G5442] Noah[G3575] the eighth[G3590] person, a preacher[G2783] of righteousness,[G1343] bringing in[G1863] the flood[G2627] upon the world[G2889] of the ungodly;[G765]

6. And[G2532] turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes[G5077] [G4172] [G4670] [G2532] [G1116] condemned[G2632] them with an overthrow,[G2692] making[G5087] them an example[G5262] unto those that after should[G3195] live ungodly;[G764]

7. And[G2532] delivered[G4506] just[G1342] Lot,[G3091] vexed[G2669] with[G5259] the[G3588] filthy conversation[G1722] [G766] [G391] of the[G3588] wicked: [G113]

8. (For[G1063] that righteous man[G1342] dwelling[G1460] among[G1722] them,[G846] in seeing[G990] and[G2532] hearing,[G189] vexed[G928] his righteous[G1342] soul[G5590] from day[G2250] to[G1537] day[G2250] with their unlawful[G459] deeds);[G2041]

9. The Lord[G2962] knoweth[G1492] how to deliver[G4506] the godly[G2152] out of[G1537] temptations,[G3986] and[G1161] to reserve[G5083] the unjust[G94] unto[G1519] the day[G2250] of judgment[G2920] to be punished: [G2849]

10. But[G1161] chiefly[G3122] them that walk[G4198] after[G3694] the flesh[G4561] in[G1722] the lust[G1939] of uncleanness,[G3394] and[G2532] despise[G2706] government.[G2963] Presumptuous[G5113] are they, self-willed,[G829] they are not[G3756] afraid[G5141] to speak evil[G987] of dignities.[G1391]

11. Whereas[G3699] angels,[G32] which are[G5607] greater[G3187] in power[G2479] and[G2532] might,[G1411] bring[G5342] not[G3756] railing[G989] accusation[G2920] against[G2596] them[G846] before[G3844] the Lord.[G2962]

12. But[G1161] these,[G3778] as[G5613] natural[G5446] brute[G249] beasts,[G2226] made[G1080] to be taken[G1519] [G259] and[G2532] destroyed,[G5356] speak evil[G987] of[G1722] the things that[G3739] they understand not;[G50] and shall utterly perish[G2704] in[G1722] their own[G848] corruption;[G5356]

13. And shall receive[G2865] the reward[G3408] of unrighteousness,[G93] as they that count[G2233] it pleasure[G2237] to riot[G5172] in[G1722] the day time.[G2250] Spots[G4695] they are and[G2532] blemishes,[G3470] sporting themselves[G1792] with[G1722] their own[G848] deceivings[G539] while they feast[G4910] with you;[G5213]

14. Having[G2192] eyes[G3788] full[G3324] of adultery,[G3428] and[G2532] that cannot cease[G180] from sin;[G266] beguiling[G1185] unstable[G793] souls:[G5590] a heart[G2588] they have[G2192] exercised[G1128] with covetous practices;[G4124] cursed[G2671] children: [G5043]

15. Which have forsaken[G2641] the[G3588] right[G2117] way,[G3598] and are gone astray,[G4105] following[G1811] the[G3588] way[G3598] of Balaam[G903] the son of Bosor,[G1007] who[G3739] loved[G25] the wages[G3408] of unrighteousness;[G93]

16. But[G1161] was rebuked[G2192] [G1649] for his[G2398] iniquity:[G3892] the dumb[G880] ass[G5268] speaking[G5350] with[G1722] man's[G444] voice[G5456] forbade[G2967] the[G3588] madness[G3913] of the[G3588] prophet.[G4396]

17. These[G3778] are[G1526] wells[G4077] without water,[G504] clouds[G3507] that are carried[G1643] with[G5259] a tempest:[G2978] to whom[G3739] the[G3588] mist[G2217] of darkness[G4655] is reserved[G5083] forever.[G1519] [G165]

18. For[G1063] when they speak[G5350] great swelling[G5246] words of vanity,[G3153] they allure[G1185] through[G1722] the lusts[G1939] of the flesh,[G4561] through much wantonness,[G766] those that were clean escaped[G668] [G3689] from them who live[G390] in[G1722] error.[G4106]

19. While they promise[G1861] them[G846] liberty,[G1657] they[G846] themselves are[G5225] the servants[G1401] of corruption:[G5356] for[G1063] of whom[G3739] a man[G5100] is overcome,[G2274] of the same[G5129] is he[G2532] brought in bondage.[G1402]

20. For[G1063] if[G1487] after they have escaped[G668] the[G3588] pollutions[G3393] of the[G3588] world[G2889] through[G1722] the knowledge[G1922] of the[G3588] Lord[G2962] and[G2532] Savior[G4990] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] they are[G1161] again[G3825] entangled[G1707] therein,[G5125] and[G2532] overcome,[G2274] the[G3588] latter end[G2078] is[G1096] worse[G5501] with them[G846] than the[G3588] beginning.[G4413]

21. For[G1063] it had been[G2258] better[G2909] for them[G846] not[G3361] to have known[G1921] the[G3588] way[G3598] of righteousness,[G1343] than,[G2228] after they have known[G1921] it, to turn[G1994] from[G1537] the[G3588] holy[G40] commandment[G1785] delivered[G3860] unto them.[G846]

22. But[G1161] it is happened[G4819] unto them[G846] according[G3588] to the[G3588] true[G227] proverb,[G3942] The dog[G2965] is turned to his own vomit again;[G1994] [G1909] [G2398] [G1829] and[G2532] the sow[G5300] that was washed[G3068] to[G1519] her wallowing[G2946] in the mire.[G1004]
