2 Peter 2:20-22

20For ifG1487, after they have 1escapedG668 the defilementsG3393 of the worldG2889 by 2the knowledgeG1922 of the 3LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they are againG3825 4entangledG1707 inG1707 them and areG2274 overcomeG2274, 5the lastG2078 state has becomeG1096 worseG5501 for them than the firstG4413.

216For it would be betterG2909 for them not to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228 having knownG1921 it, to turnG5290 awayG5290 from 7the holyG40 commandmentG1785 8handedG3860 on to them.

229It has happenedG4819 to them according to the trueG227 proverbG3942, “10A dogG2965 returnsG1994 to its ownG2398 vomitG1829,” and, “A sowG5300, after washingG3068, returns to wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.”
