2Pe_2:2. καὶ πολλοὶ ἐξακολουθήσουσιν ] The activity of these ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι would not be without result; cf. 2Ti_2:17. With ἐξακολ . cf. chap. 2Pe_1:16.
αὐτῶν ταῖς ἀσελγείαις ] i.e. their ἀσέλγειαι will serve as a rule to many, so that they give themselves up to them; cf. Jud_1:4. The connection of erroneous doctrine with sensual excesses is shown in 2Pe_2:18-19.
διʼ οὓς … βλασφημηθήσεται ] διʼ οὕς , not: “by whom;” Vulg.: per quas; but: “on account of whom;” they (either the ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι , or those led astray by them, or both) by their ἀσέλγειαι give those who are not Christians occasion for βλασφημία against the ὁδὸς τῆς ἀληθείας ; cf. 1Ti_6:1; Rom_2:24. ἡ ὁδὸς τῆς ἀληθείας (Barnab. c. v.: via veritatis), a designation of Christianity or of the Christian religion (cf. on the expression ὁδός , Act_9:2; Act_19:9; Act_19:23; Act_22:4; Act_24:14; Act_16:17; Act_18:25), in so far as it is the form of life in harmony with divine truth (not leading to the truth).
