Peter now goes on to say: "There were also false prophets among the people as there will be false teachers among you... they will introduce destructive heresies even denying the Sovereign Lord... bringing destruction on themselves... for if God didn't spare angels... and if God brought the flood... but God knew how to save Noah and family in these situations... but God also judged the unrighteous... for bold and arrogant are these men who are not afraid to slander celestial beings... and they blaspheme in matters they don't understand... they are like brute beasts... so they will be paid back... for their reveling in pleasure with eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning, they seduce the unstable... and have left the straight way to follow the way of Balaam... these men are springs without water... and blackest darkness is reserved for them... and they promise freedom whilst they themselves are slaves of depravity... for they are again entangled by the world... it would have been better had they never known the truth because the dog returns to its vomit and a pig goes back to wallowing in the mud".
