2 Peter 2:12-22

But
<1161>
these
<3778>_,
as
<5613>
natural
<5446>
brute
<249>
beasts
<2226>_,
made
<1080> (5772)
to
<1519>
be taken
<259>
and
<2532>
destroyed
<5356>_,
speak evil
<987> (5723)
of
<1722>
the things that
<3739>
they understand not
<50> (5719)_;
and shall utterly perish
<2704> (5691)
in
<1722>
their own
<846>
corruption
<5356>_;
And shall receive
<2865> (5697)
the reward
<3408>
of unrighteousness
<93>_,
[as] they that count
<2233> (5740)
it pleasure
<2237>
to riot
<5172>
in
<1722>
the day time
<2250>_.
Spots
<4696>
[they are] and
<2532>
blemishes
<3470>_,
sporting themselves
<1792> (5723)
with
<1722>
their own
<846>
deceivings
<539>
while they feast
<4910> (5740)
with you
<5213>_;
Having
<2192> (5723)
eyes
<3788>
full
<3324>
of adultery
<3428>_,
and
<2532>
that cannot cease from
<180>
sin
<266>_;
beguiling
<1185> (5723)
unstable
<793>
souls
<5590>_:
an heart
<2588>
they have
<2192> (5723)
exercised
<1128> (5772)
with covetous practices
<4124>_;
cursed
<2671>
children
<5043>_:
{adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsaken
<2641> (5631)
the right
<2117>
way
<3598>_,
and are gone astray
<4105> (5681)_,
following
<1811> (5660)
the way
<3598>
of Balaam
<903>
[the son] of Bosor
<1007>_,
who
<3739>
loved
<25> (5656)
the wages
<3408>
of unrighteousness
<93>_;
But
<1161>
was
<2192> (5627)
rebuked
<1649>
for his
<2398>
iniquity
<3892>_:
the dumb
<880>
ass
<5268>
speaking
<5350> (5674)
with
<1722>
man's
<444>
voice
<5456>
forbad
<2967> (5656)
the madness
<3913>
of the prophet
<4396>_.
These
<3778>
are
<1526> (5748)
wells
<4077>
without water
<504>_,
clouds
<3507>
that are carried
<1643> (5746)
with
<5259>
a tempest
<2978>_;
to whom
<3739>
the mist
<2217>
of darkness
<4655>
is reserved
<5083> (5769)
for
<1519>
ever
<165>_.
For
<1063>
when they speak
<5350> (5726)
great swelling
<5246>
[words] of vanity
<3153>_,
they allure
<1185> (5719)
through
<1722>
the lusts
<1939>
of the flesh
<4561>_,
[through much] wantonness
<766>_,
those that were clean
<3689>
escaped
<668> (5631)
from them who live
<390> (5746)
in
<1722>
error
<4106>_.
{clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promise
<1861> (5740)
them
<846>
liberty
<1657>_,
they themselves
<846>
are
<5225> (5723)
the servants
<1401>
of corruption
<5356>_:
for
<1063>
of whom
<3739>
a man
<5100>
is overcome
<2274> (5766)_,

<2532>
of the same
<5129>
is he brought in bondage
<1402> (5769)_.
For
<1063>
if
<1487>
after they have escaped
<668> (5631)
the pollutions
<3393>
of the world
<2889>
through
<1722>
the knowledge
<1922>
of the Lord
<2962>
and
<2532>
Saviour
<4990>
Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>_,
they are
<1707> (0)
again
<3825>
entangled
<1707> (5651)
therein
<5125>_,
and
<1161>
overcome
<1096> (5754) <2274> (5736)_,
the latter end
<2078>
is worse
<5501>
with them
<846>
than the beginning
<4413>_.
For
<1063>
it had been
<2258> (5713)
better
<2909>
for them
<846>
not
<3361>
to have known
<1921> (5760)
the way
<3598>
of righteousness
<1343>_,
than
<2228>_,
after they have known
<1921> (5631)
[it], to turn
<1994> (5658)
from
<1537>
the holy
<40>
commandment
<1785>
delivered
<3860> (5685)
unto them
<846>_.
But
<1161>
it is happened
<4819> (5758)
unto them
<846>
according to
<3588>
the true
<227>
proverb
<3942>_,
The dog
<2965>
[is] turned
<1994> (0)
to
<1909>
his own
<2398>
vomit
<1829>
again
<1994> (5660)_;
and
<2532>
the sow
<5300>
that was washed
<3068> (5671)
to
<1519>
her wallowing
<2946>
in the mire
<1004>_.
