“But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”

2Pe 2:10 Chiefly them. Those next named will receive the greater punishment. That walk after the flesh. Follow its dictates and live impure lives. And despise government.

A characteristic of this class is their presumption and a want of reverence for what is high and holy. See Jude 1:8.
