2 Peter 2:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ For in speaking boastful words of frivolity, they allure (with lewdness and lusts of the flesh) those who had barely escaped from those walking in error;

¹⁹ promising them freedom, but themselves the servants of corruption. For by whomever one is overcome, to him also is he in bondage.

²⁰ For if they - after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the acknowledging of the Lord and the Savior Jesus Christ - are once again entangled in it and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
