2Pe 2:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : Peter describes how these false teachers use "feigned words"—flattery and deceptive speech—to mislead others. They appeal to people's desires and convince them to follow their opinions. However, their true motive is selfishness. They exploit others for personal gain, seeking wealth, recognition, or power. Unlike faithful ministers of Christ, who seek the good of their followers and their salvation, false teachers only aim to benefit themselves. Christians must be vigilant and avoid being misled by those who seek to use them for selfish purposes.
