2 Peter 2:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 For in speaking [a]swelling words of vanity, they [b]beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were [c]clean escaped from them which are wrapped in error,
19 Promising unto them liberty, and are themselves the (A)servants of corruption: for of whomsoever a man is overcome, even unto the same is he in bondage.
20 (B)[d] For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Savior Jesus Christ, are yet tangled again therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
