And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Receive, [komioumenoi] - 'shall carry off as their due.'
Reward of - i:e., for their "unrighteousness" (Alford). Also, unrighteousness shall be its own reward (Revelation 22:11). "Wages of unrighteousness" (2 Peter 2:15) has a different sense. The earthly gain gotten, by "unrighteousness" in the day time; Greek, 'counting the luxury which is in the day time (not restricted to night, as ordinary revelling. Or, Vulgate, "the luxury which is comprised in a day." So Hebrews 11:25, and Hebrews 12:16, Esau) to be pleasure,' i:e., their chief good.
Spots - in themselves. Blemishes - disgraces: bringing blame х moomoi (G3470)] on the Church and Christianity. Sporting themselves х entrufoontes (G1792)] -'luxuriating ' Sporting themselves, х entrufoontes (G1792)] - 'luxuriating.' With - `IN.'
Deceivings - or passively, 'deceits:' luxuries gotten by deceit (cf. Matthew 13:22; Ephesians 4:22). While deceiving others, they are deceived themselves (cf. Philippians 3:19). "Their own," in opposition to "you." 'While partaking of the love-feast with you,' they are 'luxuriating in their own deceivings' or 'deceits' (to which answers Jude 1:12, end. Peter presents the positive side, Jude the negative. 'Feeding themselves without fear'). So 'Aleph (') C; but B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Sahidic versions (as Jude) х agapais (G25)] 'in their own love-feasts.' "Their own" will imply, they make the love-feasts subserve their own self-indulgent purposes.
