2 Peter 2:19-20

English Standard Version

¹⁹ They promise them ^(A)freedom, ^(B)but they themselves are slaves^[a] of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. ²⁰ For if, ^(C)after they have escaped the defilements of the world ^(D)through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, ^(E)the last state has become worse for them than the first.
