10and especially those who 2:10 Lit go afterindulge the flesh in its corrupt passion, and despise 2:10 Lit lordshipauthority.

2:10 Or AudaciousReckless, self-centered, they speak abusively of angelic 2:10 Lit gloriesmajesties without trembling,

10and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority.

Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

10and especially 2:10 In the descriptions that follow, Peter may specifically have in mind the false teachers of whom he spoke in vv 1-3.those who indulge in the corrupt passions of the sin nature, and despise authority.

Presumptuous and reckless, self-willed and arrogant [creatures, despising the majesty of the Lord], they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

10Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings.2:10 Or to blaspheme angelic majesties

10Most of all, this is true of people who follow desires that come from sin’s power. These people hate to be under authority.

They are bold and proud. So they aren’t even afraid to speak evil things against heavenly beings.
