2 Peter 2:18-22

JuliaSmith(i) 18 For speaking excessive things of vanity, they decoy with the eager desires of the flesh, for licentiousness, them having truly escaped from those turned back in error. 19 Promising them liberty, they being servants of corruption: for by whom any is conquered, by him has he been made to serve. 20 For if having escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and again entangling with these, they be conquered, the last things have been to them worse than the first. 21 For it was better for them not to have known the way of justice, than, having known, to turn back from the holy command delivererd to them. 22 And that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog having turned back to his own vomit; and the sow having been washed to the rolling of the mire.
