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.

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)
