2Peter:2:15-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Which have forsaken (
5631 )
the right way ,
and are gone astray (
5681 ),
following (
5660 )
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor ,
who loved (
5656 )
the wages of unrighteousness ;
*
But was (
5627 )
rebuked for his iniquity :
the dumb ass speaking (
5674 )
with mans voice forbad (
5656 )
the madness of the prophet .
*
These are (
5748 )
wells without water ,
clouds that are carried (
5746 )
with a tempest ;
to whom the mist of darkness is reserved (
5769 )
for ever .
*
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 .
