2 Peter 2:18-22
18For, aspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely bescaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them cfreedom, dbut they themselves are slaves ▼▼Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20For if, fafter they have escaped the defilements of the world gthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, hthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For iit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from jthe holy commandment delivered to them. 22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The kdog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” 1 John 2:27
27But lthe anointing that you received from him abides in you, and myou have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and nis true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.Revelation of John 2:10
10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, othat you may be tested, and for pten days qyou will have tribulation. rBe faithful sunto death, and I will give you tthe crown of life.
