{Murmurers} (goggustai). Late onomatopoetic word for
agent, from gogguz(935c) ( Mt 20:11 1Co 10:10 ) in the LXX ( Ex
16:8 Nu 11:1,14-29 ). {Complainers} (mempsimoiroi). Rare word
(Isocrates, Aristotle, Plutarch) from memphomai to complain and
moira lot or fate. Here alone in N.T. {Lusts} (epithumias).
As in 2Pe 3:3 . {Swelling} (huperogka). So in 2Pe 2:18 (big
words). {Showing respect of persons} ( haumazontes pros(9370)a).
Present active participle of haumaz(935c) to admire, to wonder at.
Nowhere else in N.T. with pros(9370)a, but a Hebraism (in Le
19:15 Job 13:10 ) like lambanein pros(9370)on ( Lu 20:21 ) and
lepein pros(9370)on ( Mt 22:16 ) and prosop(936c)empte(935c) ( Jas 2:9 ).
Cf. Jas 2:1 . {For the sake of advantage} ((9370)heleias charin).
To themselves. See also verse 11 . The covetousness of these
Gnostic leaders is plainly shown in 2Pe 2:3,14 . For charin as
preposition with genitive see Eph 3:1,14 .
