2 Peter 2:17-22

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. 21ForG1063 it had beenG1510 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3588G3598 of righteousnessG3588G1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 theG1785 holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846. 22ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according to theG3942 trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
