2:10a twisted sexual desire: The reference is to illicit sexual desire generally and possibly to homosexuality in particular (cp. reference to Sodom and Gomorrah, 2:6). • The false teachers were so arrogant that they refused to listen to any authority but their own. 2:10b-16 This profile of the false teachers focuses more on how they were living than on what they were teaching. 2:10b supernatural beings: Probably evil angels, in contrast to the angels of 2:11. It is wrong to scoff even at evil angels, because they bear the mark of their glorious origin—they have real power and pose a real threat to humans.
