2 Peter 2:18-20

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁸ They say big and foolish things. They fool people who have just left those who live in wrong ways. They fool them by making them want to do wrong things with their bodies.

¹⁹ They promise them that they will be free. But they themselves are slaves of death. A man is a slave of anything that rules over him.

²⁰ They left the wrong ways of the world because they knew our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Then when they went back to the wrong ways again, they were ruled by them. Then they will have more trouble than they had at first.
