2 Peter 2:20-22

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁰ For if they are overcome, having both ^(A)escaped the defilements of the world by ^(B)the knowledge of the ^(C)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and having again been ^(D)entangled in them, then ^(E)the last state has become worse for them than the first. ^21 (F)For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from ^(G)the holy commandment ^(H)handed on to them. ²² The ^[a]message of the true proverb has happened to them, “^(I)A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
