2 Peter 2:15
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;”
ὁδός
Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.
μισθός
the] wage

μισθός
Wages, reward, pay. Misthos. Behold I am coming quickly and My reward is with Me. Following Jesus comes with a reward. Not payment for works but the gift of His presence forever.
