Deceptions of False Teachers
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who [a]have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of [b]corruption; (A)for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into [c]bondage. 20 For if, after they (B)have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are (C)again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For (D)it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: (E)“A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Submission to Masters(A)
18 (B)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is (C)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For (D)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For (E)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [a]us, (F)leaving [b]us an example, that you should follow His steps:

Luke 6:32-36
New King James Version
32 (A)“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 (B)And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But (C)love your enemies, (D)do good, and (E)lend, [a]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and (F)you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 (G)Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
