2 Peter 2:10

Especially. "If God will punish sinners of all kinds, he will especially punish those who follow filthy bodily lusts and despise God's authority." These filthy bodily lusts are the perversions of human nature that Paul describes in Romans 1:18-32. These false teachers. Now Peter describes them. Bold and arrogant. This is their motivation. MacKnight says: "In this passage the apostle had an eye to the false teachers of the Jewish nation, whose principles led them to despise the heathen magistrates, and even to revile (slander) and resist them." Compare Romans 13:1-10. Show no respect. The Expositor's Greek Testament says: "The false teachers may have scoffed at the idea both of angelic help, and of diabolic temptation. Their tendency seems to have been to make light of the Unseen, to foster a sense of the unreality both of sin and of goodness and to reduce the motives of conduct to a vulgar hedonism."
