2 Peter 2:2

And many shall follow their pernicious ways Better, their lasciviousnesses. The word is the same as in Mark 7:22, Rom 13:13, 1 Peter 4:3, and elsewhere; and the English version loses the distinctive character of the sectarian teaching and conduct (analogous to what is noted in Jude, 2Pe 2:4; 2 Peter 2:8; Revelation 2:20) which called down the Apostle's condemnation. The needless variation in the rendering of the English version hinders the reader from perceiving the identity with St Jude's condemnation of those who "turn the grace of God into lasciviousness."

the way of truth shall be evil spoken of Better, reviled or blasphemed. Comp. Romans 2:24. In the use of the term "the wayof truth" we have an interesting parallel with the frequent occurrence of that word in the Acts (Acts 18:26; Acts 19:9; Acts 19:23; Acts 22:4; Acts 24:22), as equivalent to what we should call, in modern phrase, the "system" or the "religion" of Christ. The scandals caused by the impurities of the false teachers brought discredit upon the whole system with which, in the judgment of the outside world, they were identified.
