Greetings Rose! Here is a little additional commentary on this verse.. "2:9 The unrighteous not only will be punished in the lake of fire but also are being punished either in this life while alive or in the intermediate place of hades between death and the lake of fire (Luke 16:19-31)." (Ryrie's Study Bible) "And to reserve the unjust—As he does the rebel angels, 2 Pet. 2:4. The case of the angels shows that God can keep wicked men, as if under bonds, reserved for their final trial at his bar. Though they seem to go at large, yet they are under his control, and are kept by him with reference to their ultimate arraignment." (Barnes' Notes on the NT) "On the other hand God holds (, “keeps under guard”) the unrighteous for the coming day of judgment (cf. 3:7), the great white throne judgment and the lake of fire (Rev. 20:11-15). Meanwhile God continues their punishment in this life (cf. Rom. 1:27b) and in hades after death (Luke 16:23). The participle (“punishing, injuring”) is another of Peter’s words that occurs only once in the New Testament." (The Bible Knowledge Commentary: NT) "to be punished--Greek, "being punished": as the fallen angels (2Pe_2:4), actually under sentence, and awaiting its final execution. Sin is already its own penalty; hell will be its full development." (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary) --Nolan |
