2 Peter 2:17-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ These are ^(A)springs without water and mists driven by a storm, ^(B)for whom the ^[a]black darkness has been reserved. ¹⁸ For, while speaking out ^(C)arrogant words of no ^(D)value they ^(E)entice by fleshly desires, by ^(F)indecent behavior, those who barely ^(G)escape from the ones who live in error, ¹⁹ promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for ^(H)by what anyone is overcome, by this he is enslaved. ²⁰ For if, after they have ^(I)escaped the defilements of the world by ^(J)the knowledge of the ^(K)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again ^(L)entangled in them and are overcome, ^(M)the last state has become worse for them than the first.
