"whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment."
— 2 Peter 2:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.”
“whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord. ”
“whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don't bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.”
“yet even angels, who are much more powerful, do not bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.”
“Whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment.”
“Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord.”
“Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.”
For in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
Thus, the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trials, and how to reserve the iniquitous for torments on the day of judgment;
even more so, those who walk after the flesh in unclean desires, and who despise proper authority. Boldly pleasing themselves, they do not dread to introduce divisions by blaspheming;
whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment.
Yet truly, these others, like irrational beasts, naturally fall into traps and into ruin by blaspheming whatever they do not understand, and so they shall perish in their corruption,
receiving the reward of injustice, the fruition of valuing the delights of the day: defilements and stains, overflowing with self-indulgences, taking pleasure in their feasts with you,
having eyes full of adultery and of incessant offenses, luring unstable souls, having a heart well-trained in avarice, sons of curses!
