2 Peter 2:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 The Lord [a]knoweth to deliver the godly out of tentation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment under punishment:
10 [b]And chiefly them that walk after the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government, which are bold, and stand in their own conceit, and fear not to speak evil of them that are in [c]dignity.
11 Whereas the Angels which are greater both in power and might, give not railing judgment against them before the Lord.
