ACC ~ 2 Peter 2 v15

FORSAKING THE RIGHT WAY. HILARY OF ARLES: The right way is the way of Christ, who said: “I am the way, the truth and the life.” INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.

THE WAY OF BALAAM. ANDREAS: As we know from the Old Testament, Balaam was hindered by God for his greed in trying to obtain a living off his prophetic spirit. He obstinately tried to run to Balak a second time, and only after he was corrected by the fear of God and the terrors which he met along the way was he able to get the word of blessing right, so that what he said was from God and not his own wicked preference. For even his tongue was not totally given over to the service of a lie. CATENA.

WHO LOVED GAIN FROM WRONGDOING. BEDE: There is nothing quite like the love of money to tempt the licentious into corrupting the word of truth. ON 2 PETER.
