2 Peter 2:1-3 BBE
(1) But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it. (2) And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name. (3) And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

2 Peter 2:1-3 ALT
(1) But also false prophets came to be among the people, as also false teachers will be among you*, who will secretly bring in destructive, heretical sects, and denying the Master having redeemed them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. (2) And many will follow their flagrant sexually immoral ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. (3) And in covetous desire [or, greed], with fabricated words, they will exploit you*, for whom their judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction will not sleep.

2 Peter 2:1-3 LITV
(1) But false prophets were also among the people, as also false teachers will be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, and denying the Master who has bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. (2) And many will follow their destructive ways, by whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of. (3) And by covetousness, with well-turned words, they will use you for gain, for whom judgment of old does not linger, and their destruction does not slumber.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
