2 Peter 2:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ So you see that the Lord God knows how to save those who are devoted to him. He will save them when troubles come. And the Lord will hold evil people to punish them on the day of judgment. ¹⁰ That punishment is for those who are always doing the evil that their sinful selves want to do. It is for those who hate the Lord’s authority.

These false teachers do whatever they want, and they are so proud of themselves. They are not afraid even to say bad things against the glorious ones.^{[a] 11} The angels are much stronger and more powerful than these beings. But even the angels don’t accuse them and say bad things about them to the Lord.
