2 Pedro 2:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Peter 2:11

Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might
Which is not to be understood of evil angels, or devils; for, besides that they are greatly weakened and impaired by their fall, they are the accusers of men, and railers and slanderers of the best and greatest of men, and the origin of all the blasphemies that are vented against God or men; but of good angels, who excel in strength, who are not only guardians to particular men, and encamp about the saints, but preside over provinces and kingdoms, for which their power and might do abundantly qualify them; and in which they are greater, that is, not than the devils, or than the false teachers, though both are true, but than dominions and dignities, than kings, princes, and civil magistrates: and yet these

bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord;
either "against themselves", as the Arabic version and one of Beza's copies read; against one another, against those of their own species, that are in a higher or lower class or office than themselves; and therefore men ought not to despise magistracy, or the higher powers that are over them: or else against the fallen angels, the devils, as should seem from ( Jude 1:9 ) , or rather against civil magistrates, kings, and princes of this world, who, though so much below them, they vouchsafe to take under their care, and protect them, even Heathen princes, ( Daniel 10:20 ) ; and though there may be oftentimes many things unbecoming in them, yet they do not accuse them, or rail against them before the Lord; and even when, by his orders, they inflict punishment on their persons, as on Sennacherib, and Herod, and others, yet they do not speak evil of their office; and therefore, since angels, who are so much above men, even above the most dignified among them, behave in this manner, it must be an aggravation of the sin of these persons, who are so much below them, to speak evil of them.

2 Pedro 2:11 In-Context

9 Todo esto demuestra que el Señor sabe librar de la prueba a los que viven como Dios quiere, y reservar a los impíos para castigarlos en el día del juicio.

10 Esto les espera sobre todo a los que siguen los corrompidos deseos de la naturaleza humana y desprecian la autoridad del Señor.¡Atrevidos y arrogantes que son! No tienen reparo en insultar a los seres celestiales,

11 mientras que los ángeles, a pesar de superarlos en fuerza y en poder, no pronuncian contra tales seres ninguna acusación insultante en la presencia del Señor.

12 Pero aquellos blasfeman en asuntos que no entienden. Como animales irracionales, se guían únicamente por el instinto, pues nacieron para ser atrapados y degollados. Lo mismo que esos animales, perecerán también en su corrupción

13 y recibirán el justo pago por sus injusticias. Su concepto de placer es entregarse a las pasiones desenfrenadas en pleno día. Son manchas y suciedad, que gozan de sus placeres mientras los acompañan a ustedes en sus comidas.
