अध्ययन टिप्पणी

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.
