and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;

as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
