2:12 但這些人好像沒有靈性,生來就是畜類,以備捉拿宰殺的。他們毀謗所不曉得的事,正在敗壞人的時候,自己必遭遇敗壞。
2:13 行的不義,就得了不義的工價。這些人喜愛白晝宴樂,他們已被玷污,又有瑕疵,正與你們一同坐席,就以自己的詭詐為快樂。
2:14 他們滿眼是淫色(原文是淫婦),止不住犯罪,引誘那心不堅固的人,心中習慣了貪婪,正是被咒詛的種類。
These people, however,
are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and
killed. They slander what they do not understand, and when those creatures are
destroyed, they also will be destroyed, suffering the penalty for doing wrong.
They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes,
reveling in their dissipation while they feast with you. They have eyes full of
adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts
trained in greed. Accursed children!

**************
使徒彼得在此形容,那些不接受真道,又毀謗福音的假教師,如同畜類一般,準備受咒詛、受宰殺。並且因為他們不敬畏上帝,造成他們的生活表現不佳,道德低落,不斷的犯罪。
由此可見,基督徒雖然不強調道德的修養。但是,在聖靈的引導之下,透過上帝的話,使我們的生命越來越精純,也造成我們越來越有基督的樣式,讓人感受到不僅有好的生活表現,更是道德高超,超越用自己的力量修養自己的人。
所以,勝過假教師的利器,就是研讀聖經並讓聖靈來引導,使聖靈將耶穌基督的救贖成就在我們身上。
