2 Peter 2:15-20

15They have leftG2641 the straightG2117 wayG3598 and wandered offG4105 to followG1811 theG3588 wayG3598 of BalaamG903 son of BeorG1007,1 whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of wickednessG93. 16ButG1161 he wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 transgressionG3892 by a donkeyG5268, otherwise without speechG880, that spokeG5350 withG1722 a man’sG444 voiceG5456 and restrainedG2967 theG3588 prophet’sG4396 madnessG3913.

17TheseG3778 men areG1510 springsG4077 without waterG504 andG2532 mistsG887 drivenG1643 byG5259 a stormG2978. BlackestG2217 darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 for themG3739. 18With loftyG5246 but emptyG3153 words, they appealG5350 to the sensualG766 passionsG1939 of the fleshG4561 and enticeG1185 thoseG3588 who are justG3641 escapingG668 from others whoG3588 liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. 19They promiseG1861 themG846 freedomG1657, while they themselvesG846 areG5225 slavesG1401 to depravityG5356. ForG1063 a man is a slaveG3778G2532G1402 to whateverG3739 has mastered himG5100G2274.

20IfG1487 indeedG1063 they have escapedG668 theG3588 corruptionG3393 of theG3588 worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 ofG3588 our LordG2962 andG2532 SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,2 onlyG1161 to be entangledG1707 and overcomeG2274 by itG3778 againG3825, theirG846 finalG2078 condition isG1096 worse thanG5501 it was at firstG4413.
