Exegesis
The nominative subject angeloi {ἄγγελοι | án-ge-loi} ‘angels’ is modified by the comparative participial phrase meizones ontes {μείζονες ὄντες | meí-zo-nes ón-tes} ‘being greater’, which is further specified by the datives ischuyi kai dynamei {ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει | is-khý-i kaí dý-na-mei} ‘in strength and power’ functioning as datives of respect.
In context — 2 Peter 2:11
Whereas angels , though greater in strength and power, do not bring a blasphemous judgment against them.
