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.

(C)Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by (D)the flesh? 4 (E)Have you suffered so [c]many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
