'Scoff' in the Bible

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were sneering and ridiculing Him.

Now when they heard about the resurrection from the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, "We will hear you again about this."

and especially those who indulge in the corrupt passions of the sin nature, and despise authority.Presumptuous and reckless, self-willed and arrogant [creatures, despising the majesty of the Lord], they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, living according to their own desires,

Nevertheless in the same way, these dreamers [who are dreaming that God will not punish them] also defile the body, and reject [legitimate] authority, and revile and mock angelic majesties.

But these men sneer at anything which they do not understand; and whatever they do know by [mere] instinct, like unreasoning and irrational beasts—by these things they are destroyed.
