2 Peter 2:10
sBut chiefly them tthat walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise 2government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
μάλιστα δὲ τοὺς ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ μιασμοῦ πορευομένους, καὶ κυριότητος καταφρονοῦντας. τολμηταί, αὐθάδεις, δόξας οὐ τρέμουσι βλασφημοῦντες·

2:
Or, dominion.
the apostle here applies the general doctrine delivered to false teachers, whose character he gives in several particulars; the sense is, that God reserves all wicked men to the day of judgment, but those especially that second their corrupt doctrine with a wicked conversation. The verb
is to be repeated from the former verse.
to walk after the flesh is either:
1. To follow the conduct of the sensual appetite, like brute beasts, which are led by sense, not by reason or judgment: or:
2. More especially it implies their giving up themselves to filthy lusts, probably unnatural ones, Jud 1:7, going after strange flesh.
i.e. through, or out of, implying the cause or spring from whence their actual uncleanness came, viz. their own lust.
or, pollution; q.d. In the lust whereby they are polluted, or in their impure lusts.
i.e. governors, or magistrates; as brotherhood for brethren, 1Pe 2:17.
Greek, bold, or daring, viz. because
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
stubborn, refractory, addicted to their own ways, and therfore will not be ruled by others.
or, glories, viz. rulers and magistrates, whom God hath made glorious, or on whom he hath put the honour of being above others, and made them his own lieutenants and vicegerents upon earth.
