2 Peter 02 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Flesh
"Flesh" is a metaphor for a person's sinful nature. Here it does not represent the physical part of man. "Flesh" represents the human nature that rejects all things godly and desires what is sinful. This is the condition of all humans before they receive the Holy Spirit by believing in Jesus. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/flesh)
Implicit information
There are several analogies in 2:4-8 that are difficult to understand if the Old Testament has not yet been translated. Further explanation may be necessary. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
