ACC ~ 2 Peter 2 v1

KNOWN FROM THEIR CONDUCT. DIDACHE: Not everyone who speaks in the spirit is a prophet, but only if he follows behaviorally in the path of the Lord. Accordingly, from their conduct the false prophet and the true prophet will be known. DIDACHE 11.8.

DENYING THE MASTER WHO BOUGHT THEM. HILARY OF ARLES: It is typical of false teachers that they cannot accept the full equality of the persons of the Trinity. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.

FALSE PROPHETS AROSE. ANDREAS: Peter says this so that people will not just listen to everyone who claims to be a prophet, without discerning whether they really are or not. He tells them to be careful not to listen to false prophets instead of the true ones. CATENA.
