2 Peter 2:18-20
English Standard Version
18 For, (A)speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely (B)escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them (C)freedom, (D)but they themselves are slaves[a] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, (E)after they have escaped the defilements of the world (F)through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, (G)the last state has become worse for them than the first.
