Exegesis
The clause hēgoumenoi hedonēn {ἡγούμενοι ἡδονὴν | hē-goú-me-noi hē-do-nḗn} ‘considering pleasure’ takes the accusative hedonēn and the phrase en hēmerā truphēn {ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τρυφήν | en hē-mé-ra tru-phḗn} ‘in daytime luxury’ to mark their shameless indulgence.
Root and etymology
hēduseta–upsilon–sigma
“pleasant, sweet”
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.
