New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for people are slaves to whatever masters them.(A) 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the[a] Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.(B) 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was handed on to them.(C) 22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb,
