This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Pe 2:11. Ὅπου) where, used for when. A particle suitable for reproof: 1Co 3:3.-ἄγγελοι, angels) and moreover the archangel. That which Peter had in mind, as either already known to his readers, or as not yet to be disclosed, Jude afterwards expressed. The Epistle of each is in a remarkable manner parallel with the other.-ἰσχύϊ) Right is defended by strength; and these are both in agreement with each other. Men are little [dwarfs] in both respects; angels are greater; God is best and greatest.-μείζονες, greater) A grave pleasantry: greater than mere petty men.-οὐ φέρουσι κατʼ αὐτῶν, do not bring against them) that is, do not assail dignities, etc., Jud 1:9.-παρὰ Κυρίῳ) before the Lord. They abstain from judgment, through reverence of the Judge and His presence.-βλάσφημον) That is sometimes railing, which is spoken against any one with truth, but in an unbecoming manner. Judgment belongs to God, not to angels.
