This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Pe_2:9. This verse in thought, though not in form, constitutes the apodosis to the preceding clauses beginning with εἰ . The thought, however, is expressed in a more extended and general manner; the special application follows in 2Pe_2:10.
οἶδε ] Knowledge is conceived at the same time as a divine power.
κύριος ] i.e. God, 2Pe_2:4.
εὐσεβεῖς , like Noah and Lot.
ἐκ πειρασμοῦ ῥύεσθαι ] cf. 1Pe_1:6.
ἀδίκους δέ ] like the fallen angels, etc.
εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως κολαζομένους τηρεῖν ] κολαζ . is not used here with a future force: cruciandos (Bengel, Calvin, Winer, who, in his 5th ed. p. 405, resolves the clause thus: ἀδίκ . τηρεῖ ( ὥστε ) κολάξειν , and others), but it must be taken as a real present; it refers to the punishment which they suffer even before the last judgment unto which they are kept ( τηρεῖν ); cf. on 2Pe_2:4. Thus also Wiesinger, Schott, Brückner.
