2 Peter 2:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
18 For by uttering boastful, empty words,(A) they seduce, with fleshly desires and debauchery, people who have barely escaped[a] from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, since people are enslaved to whatever defeats them.(B) 20 For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of the Lord[b] and Savior Jesus Christ,(C) they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.(D)

2 Peter 2:18-20
New International Version
18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(A) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(B) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(C) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(D) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(E) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(F)
