2 Peter 2:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
(8 for by sight and hearing the righteous one dwelling among them day[a] after day was tormenting his righteous soul with their lawless[b] works)— 9 then the Lord knows-how to deliver godly ones from a trial[c] and reserve unrighteous ones for the day of judgment while being punished, 10 and especially the ones proceeding after the flesh in[d] a lust[e] for[f] defilement, and despising[g] authority[h].
They Are Self-Willed Slaves of Corruption Speaking Against The Things of God
Daring[i], self-willed ones— they do not tremble while blaspheming glories[j],

King James Version
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
