2 Peter 2:15-20
15Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3588G3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BeorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93; 16ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 forG3892 hisG2398 iniquityG3892: theG5268 dumbG880 donkeyG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man’sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG3588G4396. 17TheseG3778 areG1510 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG3588G2217 of darknessG3588G4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165. 18ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG3588G668 from them who liveG3588G390 inG1722 errorG4106. 19While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG3588G5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274, of the sameG3778 is he brought in bondageG1402. 20
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3588G3393 of the worldG3588G2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG3588G2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG3778, and overcomeG2274, the latter endG2078 isG1096 worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
