2 Peter 2:19-20 Although these people promise “liberty,” they themselves are slaves to corrupting influences, for people are slaves to whatever controls them.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ [Although] these people promise “liberty,” they themselves are slaves to corrupting influences, for people are slaves to whatever controls them. ²⁰ For if people who have escaped from the defiling practices of the world by coming to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, become tangled up in them again, and are overcome by them, these people are worse off than before they were converted.
