2 Peter 2:1

Expanded Bible

False Teachers

2 There used to be false prophets among God’s people [Deut. 13:1–5; 18:14–22; Jer. 28] just as you will have some false teachers ·in your group [^Lamong you; Jude 4]. They will secretly ·teach [bring in; introduce] ·things that are wrong—teachings that will cause people to be lost [^Ldestructive heresies/opinions/factions]. They will even ·refuse to accept [^Ldeny] the Master [^CJesus] who bought ·their freedom [^Lthem; ^Cas a master purchases a slave; 1 Cor. 6:20; 1 Pet. 1:18]. So they will bring quick ·ruin [destruction] on themselves.
