2 Peter 2:16 in Context — 2 Peter 2
14 tendo os olhos cheios de adultério, e nunca parando de pecar; iludindo as almas inconstantes, tendo o coração exercitado na ganância, filhos da maldição;
15 os quais, havendo deixado o caminho direito, desviaram-se, seguindo o caminho de Balaão, [filho] de Bosor, que amou o pagamento da injustiça.
16 Mas ele teve a repreensão de sua transgressão; o mudo animal de jugo, falando em voz humana, impediu a loucura do profeta.
17 Estes são fontes sem água, nuvens levadas pela tempestade; para os quais a escuridão das trevas está reservada para sempre.
18 Porque ao falarem coisas muito arrogantes de vaidade, iludem com os maus desejos da carne, [e] com perversões, aqueles que já tinham realmente escapado dos que andam no erro.
