2 PETER 2:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:”
They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! — the eyes full of adultery (ophtalmous mesous) represents desire as a constant orientation. The unsteady souls (psychas astēriktos) are those not grounded in apostolic teaching. Their hearts are trained (gymnazō) in covetousness through habitual practice, suggesting that their greed is cultivated rather than momentary.
