{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 .
