2 Peter 2:17-22

17TheseG3778 are 1springsG4077 withoutG504 waterG504 and mistsG3658 drivenG1643 by a stormG2978, 2for whomG3739 the 3blackG2217 darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083.

18For speakingG5350 out 4arrogantG5246 words of 5vanityG3153 they 6enticeG1185 by fleshlyG4561 desiresG1939, by 7sensualityG766, thoseG3588 who barelyG3643 8escapeG668 from the ones who liveG390 in errorG4106,

19promisingG1861 them freedomG1657 while they themselvesG846 are slavesG1401 of corruptionG5356; for 9by whatG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274, by thisG3778 he is enslavedG1402.

20For ifG1487, after they have 10escapedG668 the defilementsG3393 of the worldG2889 by 11the knowledgeG1922 of the 12LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they are againG3825 13entangledG1707 in them and are overcomeG2274, 14the lastG2078 state has becomeG1096 worseG5501 for them than the firstG4413.

2115For it would be betterG2909 for them not to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228 having knownG1921 it, to turnG5290 awayG5290 from 16the holyG40 commandmentG1785 17handedG3860 on to them.

2218It has happenedG4819 to them according to the trueG227 proverbG3942, “19A dogG2965 returnsG1994 to its ownG2398 vomitG1829,” and, “A sowG5300, after washingG3068, returns to wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.”
