2 Peter 2:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 (For he being righteous, and dwelling among them, in [a]seeing and hearing, [b]vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.)
9 The Lord [c]knoweth to deliver the godly out of tentation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment under punishment:
10 [d]And chiefly them that walk after the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government, which are bold, and stand in their own conceit, and fear not to speak evil of them that are in [e]dignity.

2 Peter 2:8-10
New International Version
8 (for that righteous man,(A) living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(B) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(C) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(D) of the flesh[a] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(E)
