G3588–ὁ–ho

And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “The”ὁ ho “<the>”

And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

τὸν ton “the”ταῖς tais “the”

For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

οἱ hoi “<the>”

But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly,

τῷ tō “the”τὸν ton “the”

And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.

ταῖς tais “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

τὸ to “the”ἡ hē “the”

For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged;

ὁ ho “the”

And kept safe Lot, the upright man, who was deeply troubled by the unclean life of the evil-doers

τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

ὁ ho “that”

But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places:

τοὺς tous “those”

But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

τῇ tēa “the”

For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

τὴν tēn “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”

Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

τὴν tēn “the”τῇ tēa “in the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

τοὺς tous “those”τοὺς tous “from those”

Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

τῆς tēs “<the>”

For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὰ ta “the”τῶν tōn “than the”

For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.

τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”

They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth.

τὸ to “the [thing]”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “<the>”

My loved ones, this is now my second letter to you, and in this as in the first, I am attempting to keep your true minds awake;

τὴν tēn “<the>”

So that you may keep in mind the words of the holy prophets in the past, and the law of the Lord and Saviour which was given to you by his Apostles.

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”
