 2and many shall follow their dissolutenesses; because of whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed.
 3And in covetousness with feigned words, they shall make merchandise of you: for whom judgment from of old is not idle, and their perdition slumbereth not.
 4For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to lowest hell and gave them up to chains of gloom reserved for judgment,
 5and spared not an ancient world but preserved Noah an eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought a flood upon a world of ungodly ones;
 6and reducing to ashes [the] cities of Sodom and Gomorrha, he condemned [them] with overthrow, having set an example to those that should live ungodlily,
 7and rescued righteous Lot, distressed by the behaviour of those abandoned in licentiousness;
 8for the righteous [man] dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing was tormenting a righteous soul day after day with lawless works,
 9[the] Lord knoweth to deliver the godly out of trial, and to keep unjust [men] for judgment-day to be punished;
 10and especially those that walk after flesh in lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not speaking railingly of dignities,
 11when angels, being greater in might and power, bring not against them before [the] Lord a railing charge.
 12But these, as irrational animals born by nature for capture and destruction, speaking evil in what things they are ignorant, shall also perish in their corruption,
 13receiving as they shall wages of unrighteousness, accounting [their] ephemeral luxury pleasure; spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their love feasts, feasting with you;
 14having eyes full of an adulteress and without cessation from sin; setting baits for unstable souls; having a heart practiced in covetousness, children of curse;
 15abandoning as they did a straight way, they went astray, following out in the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved wages of unrighteousness,
 16but had reproof of his own iniquity; a dumb beast of burden speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet.
 17These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved.
 18For uttering overswellings of vanity, they allure in lusts of the flesh, by dissolutenesses, those that are just escaping from them that walk in error,
 19promising them liberty while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is worsted, by him is he also held in bondage.
 20For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but again entangled and worsted thereby, the last for them is become worse than the first.
 21For it were better for them not to have known well the way of righteousness than knowing well to have turned back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
 22[But] there hath happened to them the [saying] of the true proverb, A dog returned to his own vomit, and A sow washed into rolling in mire. (2 Peter 2:1‑22)

Rev. 6:1‑17• 1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come.
 2And I saw, and, behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon him having a bow; and there was given him a crown: and he came out conquering and that he might conquer.
 3And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
 4And there came out another horse {i}that was{/i} red: and to him that sat upon him it was given him to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given him a great sword.
 5And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon him had a balance in his hand.
 6And I heard [as] a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and the oil and the wine thou must not hurt.
 7And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature's voice saying, Come.
 8And I saw, and, behold, a pale horse, and his name that sat on him {i}was{/i} death, and hades followed with him; and there was given him authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and by the beasts of the earth.
 9And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they held.
 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth?
 11And there was given them [each] a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet for a [little] space, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren should be completed that were to be killed even as they.
 12And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
 13and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree shaken by a great wind casteth its untimely figs.
 14And the heaven departed as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
 15And the kings of the earth and the great men and the chiliarchs and the rich and the mighty and every bondman and freeman hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
 16and they say to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
 17for the great day of his wrath is come; and who is able to stand? (Rev. 6:1‑17)

Rev. 22:1‑21• 1And he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal proceeding out of the throne of God and the Lamb.
 2In the midst of the street of it and of the river, on this side and on that side, {i}was the{/i} tree of life producing twelve fruits, every month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.
 3And there shall be no more curse: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,
 4and shall see his face; and his name {i}shall be{/i} on their foreheads.
 5And there shall be no night [there] and no need of lamp and sunlight; for the Lord God will illumine them: and they shall reign unto the ages of the ages.
 6And he said to me, These words {i}are{/i} faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets hath sent his angel to show his servants the things which must come to pass shortly.
 7And, behold, I am coming quickly: blessed {i}is{/i} he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.
 8And I John {i}was{/i} he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and [when I] saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.
 9And he saith to me, See {i}thou do it{/i} not: I am fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren the prophets and of those that keep the words of this book: worship God.
 10And he saith to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: [for] the time is at hand.
 11He that is unjust, let him do unjustly still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him practice righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.
 12Behold, I am coming quickly; and my reward with me to give each as his work is.
 13I {i}am{/i} the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
 14Blessed {i}are{/i} those that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city.
 15Without {i}are{/i} the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and every one that loveth and practiceth a lie.
 16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright [and] the morning star.
 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; let him that willeth take life's water freely.
 18I testify to everyone that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If Anyone add to them, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book:
 19and if Anyone shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and out of the holy city that are written in this book.
 20He that testifieth these things saith, Yea, I am coming quickly. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.
 21The grace of the Lord Jesus [Christ] {i}be{/i} with all [the saints. Amen.] (Rev. 22:1‑21)

f
The Greek has the sense of "reporting," "bringing back a report." Here I conceive because it is a message brought from another.
