9The Lord knoweth how to deliuer the godly out of temptations, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walke after the flesh in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise ‖gouernment. Presumptuous are they; selfe willed: they are not afraid to *speake euill of dignities:
11Whereas Angels which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation †against them before the Lord.
12But these, as natural bruit beasts made to bee taken and destroyed speake euill of the things that they vnderstand not, and shall vtterly perish in their owne corruption,
13And shall receiue the reward of vnrighteousnesse, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time: Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselues with their owne deceiuings, while they feast with you:
14Hauing eyes ful of †adulterie and that cannot cease from sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: an heart they haue exercised with couetous practises: cursed children:
