2 Peter 2:18-22
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. 21 For (H)it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from (I)the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The (J)dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

2 Peter 2:18-22
New International Version
18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(A) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(B) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(C) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(D) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(E) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(F) 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(G) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[a](H) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”

English Standard Version
The Temple of the Living God
14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For (B)what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or (C)what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 (D)What accord has Christ with Belial?[a] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (E)we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
(F)“I will make my dwelling among them and (G)walk among them,
and (H)I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore (I)go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
