19 While they promise them freedom, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whatever any man is overcome, he is also enslaved. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these, and overcome by them, the last state of such is worse than the first. 21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: The dog has turned again to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Peter 2:19-22, Anderson New Testament.
