17TheseG3778 are 6springsG4077 withoutG504 waterG504 and mistsG3658 drivenG1643 by a stormG2978, 7for whomG3739 the 8blackG2217 darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083. 18For, while speakingG5350 outG5350 9arrogantG5246 words of noG3153 10valueG3153 they 11enticeG1185 by fleshlyG4561 desiresG1939, by 12indecentG766 behaviorG766, thoseG3588 who barelyG3643 13escapeG668 from the ones who liveG390 in errorG4106, 19promisingG1861 them freedomG1657 while they themselvesG846 are slavesG1401 of corruptionG5356; for 14by whatG3739 anyoneG5100 isG2274 overcomeG2274, by thisG3778 he is enslavedG1402.
