11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
11 Even angels, their superiors in every way, wouldn't think of throwing their weight around like that, trying to slander others before God.
11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
11 But the angels, who are far greater in power and strength, do not dare to bring from the Lord a charge of blasphemy against those supernatural beings.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Peter 2:11
Commentary on 2 Peter 2:10-16
(Read 2 Peter 2:10-16)
Impure seducers and their abandoned followers, give themselves up to their own fleshly minds. Refusing to bring every thought to the obedience of Christ, they act against God's righteous precepts. They walk after the flesh, they go on in sinful courses, and increase to greater degrees of impurity and wickedness. They also despise those whom God has set in authority over them, and requires them to honour. Outward temporal good things are the wages sinners expect and promise themselves. And none have more cause to tremble, than those who are bold to gratify their sinful lusts, by presuming on the Divine grace and mercy. Many such there have been, and are, who speak lightly of the restraints of God's law, and deem themselves freed from obligations to obey it. Let Christians stand at a distance from such.
