Verse 8.— Likewise also these filthy dreamers. Well may the apostle call these false teachers "filthy dreamers." Their thoughts, awake or asleep, are impure. Their punishment shall be as sure as that of the Sodomites whom they imitate. Despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. These false teachers go further in their ungodly course. They set at naught and totally disregard all authority, and in their recklessness and temerity rail at and revile those placed in official positions, however closely such may observe the law they are called upon to administer.
