* For when they speak (5726 ) great swelling words of vanity , they allure (5719 ) through the lusts of the flesh , through much wantonness , those that were clean escaped (5631 ) from them who live (5746 ) in error . * While they promise (5740 ) them liberty , they themselves are (5723 ) the servants of corruption : for of whom a man is overcome (5766 ), of the same is he brought in bondage (5769 ). * For if after they have escaped (5631 ) the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ , they are again entangled (5651 ) therein , and overcome (5754 ) (5736 ), the latter end is worse with them than the beginning . * For it had been (5713 ) better for them not to have known (5760 ) the way of righteousness , than , after they have known (5631 ) it , to turn (5658 ) from the holy commandment delivered (5685 ) unto them . * But it is happened (5758 ) unto them according to the true proverb , The dog is turned to his own vomit again (5660 ); and the sow that was washed (5671 ) to her wallowing in the mire .
