NASB | 2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. ¶ Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who indulge in the corrupt passions of the sin nature, and despise authority. Presumptuous and reckless, self-willed and arrogant [creatures, despising the majesty of the Lord], they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, |
Bible Question: The angelic majesties/dignitaries which are spoken of in this verse, are they 'fallen' angels/satans minions or those who are obedient to God or both? Can this verse be put alongside Jude 9-10 to be similar in meaning? |
Bible Answer: I would take it as meaning any deity (whether supposed or the true God). It is saying that these men are not afraid to lie and decry others, while the angels who are in God's presence will not even skirt on lying by bringing forth a slandering accusation, as in the next verse. Jude 9-10 displays a similar point, even though it is an allusion to an apocryphal book, the Assumption of Moses, and hence disputable whether or not the allusion itself is canon. |
