BSB 10Such punishment is specially reserved for those who indulge the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and self-willed, these men are unafraid to slander angelic majesties.
NLT He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority. These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at supernatural beings without so much as trembling.
NIV This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;
I thought it interesting to see the parallel verses with different versions of the Bible.
Note: Angelic, supernatural, celestial and David Guzik describes them as "spiritual powers (Satan and his demons)".
Peter is describing punishment for those who are sexually immoral and despise authority. Bold and self willed people not afraid to slander, scoff or heap abuse on Angelic, supernatural, celestial, spiritual powers (Satan and his demons)! WOW 😳!!!!!
Now look at verse 11: Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
Not even angels!!!!!!!
If angels dare not do it then we shouldn't either!
Blessings, David
