The false teachers looked at every woman. They wanted to have wrong sex with the women. These men could never stop doing wrong things. The more that they *sinned, the more they wanted to *sin. Some Christians did not firmly trust the true *gospel message. So, they easily believed what the false teachers said. The *Greek word for ‘tempt’ describes how men caught fish. The false teachers taught attractive things to the weak Christians. These Christians were like interested fish. They were careless too. They ‘swallowed’ (believed) the false teaching that attracted them. In contrast, Peter said in 2 Peter 1:12 that his readers firmly trusted the true *gospel message.

Some men train their bodies so that they become strong. But the false teachers had ‘trained’ their desires. They wanted more and more money, goods or women. God was not pleased with them.
