On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

False doctrine and immoral practice generally go together (2Pe 2:18, 19). by reason of whom--"on account of whom," namely, the followers of the false teachers. the way of truth shall be evil spoken of--"blasphemed" by those without, who shall lay on Christianity itself the blame of its professors' evil practice.
