2 Peter
King James Version (KJV)


“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;”
King James Version (KJV)
2:13 They count it pleasure to riot in the day time - They glory in doing it in the face of the sun. They are spots in themselves, blemishes to any church. Sporting themselves with their own deceivings - Making a jest of those whom they deceive and even jesting while they are deceiving their own souls.
2Pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. Their destruction is the legitimate reward of their own wrong doing. [As] count it pleasure to riot in the day-time. Literally, "in the day". I believe that the idea is that, like dumb brutes forgetful of coming destruction, they take pleasure in carousal for a day, regardless of the morrow. Spots [they are] and blemishes. Marring the brightness and beauty of the church. Sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you. "Revelling in their love-feasts" (Revised Version). Converting even these into scenes of revel.
And shall receiue the reward of vnrighteousnesse, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time: Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselues with their owne deceiuings, while they feast with you:
