    John Gill expounds on 2 Peter 2:11, emphasizing the superiority of good angels over earthly authorities and their restraint in not bringing accusations against them, despite their higher power and might. He contrasts this behavior with that of false teachers and men who often slander and disrespect those in positions of authority. Gill highlights that angels, who serve as guardians and protectors, do not rail against even the flawed magistrates, thus illustrating the importance of respecting authority. This serves as a reminder for believers to honor and uphold the dignity of those in power, reflecting the humility and respect shown by the angels.
