Exegesis
Finally, the participles entruphōntes {ἐντρυφῶντες | en-tru-phô-n-tes} ‘reveling’ and syneuōkhoumenoi {συνευωχούμενοι | sy-neu-ō-khoú-me-noi} ‘feasting together’ form coordinated actions: entruphōntes takes the dative phrase en tais apatais autōn {ἐν ταῖς ἀπάταις αὐτῶν | en taîs a-pá-tais au-tôn} ‘in their deceptions’, and syneuōkhoumenoi governs the dative hymin {ὑμῖν | hy-mîn} ‘with you’, highlighting the communal setting of their deception. English renders these participles as finite clauses linked by conjunctions and punctuation to express both consequence and corrupt behavior.
In context — 2 Peter 2:13
They suffer wrong as the reward of unrighteousness, counting it pleasure to indulge in daytime luxury; they are spots and blemishes, enjoying themselves in their deceptions while they feast with you.
