13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: iforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for jthe prize of the upward kcall of God in Christ Jesus.2 Peter 2:20-22
20For if, lafter they have escaped the defilements of the world mthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, nthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For oit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from pthe holy commandment delivered to them. 22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The qdog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
