Peter continues to exhort his people, and us, to beware false teachers within the church. Their path leads only to destruction, As Peter in the past has exhorted us to pursue the best things, here he contends that such false teachers are to be avoided at all costs. To do this, he paints a bleak picture of them:1. False teachers are prideful (v10-12)2. False teachers are perverse (v13-14) 3. False teachers are profit-seekers (v14-16)4. False teachers will perish (v17-22)
