‏ 2 Peter 2:13

 Suffering wrong ( αδικουμενο ). Present middle or passive participle of  αδικεω to do wrong. So Aleph B P, but A C K L have  κομιουμενο (future middle participle of  κομιζω ), shall receive.

 As the hire of wrong-doing ( μισθον αδικιας ). The Elephantine papyrus has the passive of  αδικεω in the sense of being defrauded, and that may be the idea here. Peter plays on words again here as often in II Peter. The picture proceeds now with participles like  ηγουμενο (counting).

 Pleasure ( ηδονην ). See Jas 4:1, 3.

 To revel in the daytime ( την εν ημερα τρυφην ). "The in the daytime revel" (old word  τρυφη from  θρυπτω, to enervate, in N.T. only here and Lu 7:25).

 Spots ( σπιλο ). Old word for disfiguring spot, in N.T. only here and Eph 5:27.

 Blemishes ( μωμο ). Old word for blot (kin to  μυω ), only here in N.T. See 1Pe 1:19 for  αμωμος κα ασπιλος.

 Revelling ( εντρυφωντες ). Present active participle of  εντρυφαω, old compound for living in luxury, only here in N.T.

 In their love-feasts ( εν ταις αγαπαις ). So B Sah, but Aleph A C K L P read  απαταις (in their deceivings). If  αγαπαις is genuine as it is in Jude 1:12, they are the only N.T. examples of this use of  αγαπη.

 While they feast with you ( συνευωχουμενο ). Present passive participle of late and rare verb  συνευωχεω ( συν, together, and  ευωχεω, to feed abundantly) to entertain with. Clement of Alex. (Paed. ii. I. 6) applies  ευωχια to the  αγαπη.
