2 PETER 2:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;”
They will suffer harm as the payment for their unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they feast with you — the payment (misthós apodidōmi) principle asserts that consequences follow behavior. Their revelry in daylight (kupotation hēmeran) suggests brazen, unashamed conduct. The metaphors of blemishes (spiloi kai momos) emphasize their corruption within the community.
