{Lascivious doings} (aselgeiais). Associative instrumental
ease after exakolouth(8873)ousin (future active, for which verb see
1:16 ). See 1Pe 4:3 for this word. {By reason of whom} (di'
hous). "Because of whom" (accusative case of relative, referring
to polloi, many). Aut(936e) (their) refers to pseudodidaskaloi
(false teachers) while polloi to their deluded followers. See
Ro 2:23f. for a picture of such conduct by Jews (quotation from
Isa 52:5 , with lasph(886d)e(935c) used as here with di' humas,
because of you). {The way of truth} (h(8820)hodos t(8873) al(8874)heias).
Hodos (way) occurs often in N.T. for Christianity ( Ac 9:2 16:17 18:25 22:4 24:14 ). This phrase is in Ge 24:48 as "the
right road," and that is what Peter means here. So Ps 119:30 .
See again 2:15,21 .
