2:1 But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. ¹  These false teachers ²  will ³  infiltrate your midst ⁴  with destructive heresies, ⁵  even to the point of ⁶  denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring ⁷  swift destruction on themselves. 2:2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. ⁸  Because of these false teachers, ⁹  the way of truth will be slandered. ¹⁰  2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their ¹¹  condemnation pronounced long ago ¹²  is not sitting idly by; ¹³  their ¹⁴  destruction is not asleep.
