Exegesis
The verse opens with the articular participle poreuomenous {πορευομένους | po-reu-o-mé-nous} “going” modified by the prepositional phrase opisō sarkos {ὀπίσω σαρκὸς | o-pí-sō sar-kós} “after flesh,” indicating a moral pursuit.
In context — 2 Peter 2:10
Especially those who pursue the flesh in the desire of defilement and who despise authority, impious and arrogant, blaspheming the glorious ones.
