Study Note
The description of false teachers as having 'eyes full of adultery' (literally 'an adulterous eye') and being 'unable to stop sinning' employs the ancient physiology of vision as a conduit for desire, comparable to Matthew 5:28. The phrase 'beguiling unstable souls' (deleazō, literally 'to bait a hook') depicts deliberate predatory seduction of the spiritually immature. The accusation of a 'heart trained in greed' echoes athletic vocabulary — 'trained' (gegumnasmenēn) implies disciplined practice — ironically inverting the godly training language of 1 Timothy 4:7. Second Peter's polemic against false teachers draws heavily on Jude 1:4–16, adapting those traditions for a slightly later community facing similar internal threats.
