2 Peter 2:15 in Context — 2 Peter 2

13 Recibiendo el galardón de su injusticia, [ya] que reputan por delicia poder gozar de deleites cada día. Estos [son] suciedades y manchas, los cuales comiendo con vosotros, juntamente se recrean en sus errores;

14 Teniendo los ojos llenos de adulterio, y no saben cesar de pecar; cebando las almas inconstantes; teniendo el corazón ejercitado en codicias, siendo hijos de maldición;

15 Que han dejado el camino derecho, y se han extraviado, siguiendo el camino de Balaam, [hijo] de Bosor, el cual amó el premio de la maldad.

16 Y fué reprendido por su iniquidad: una muda bestia de carga, hablando en voz de hombre, refrenó la locura del profeta.

17 Estos son fuentes sin agua, y nubes traídas de torbellino de viento: para los cuales está guardada la oscuridad de las tinieblas para siempre.
