2 Peter 2:18 in Context — 2 Peter 2
16 Mas ele teve a repreensão de sua transgressão; o mudo animal de jugo, falando em voz humana, impediu a loucura do profeta.
17 Estes são fontes sem água, nuvens levadas pela tempestade; para os quais a escuridão das trevas está reservada para sempre.
18 Porque ao falarem coisas muito arrogantes de vaidade, iludem com os maus desejos da carne, [e] com perversões, aqueles que já tinham realmente escapado dos que andam no erro.
19 Prometendo-lhes liberdade, [mas] sendo eles mesmos servos da corrupção; porque aquele de quem alguém é vencido, do tal também se faz servo.
20 Porque se, por causa do conhecimento do Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo, tiverem escapado das imundícies do mundo, e novamente se envolverem nelas, e forem vencidos, o fim será pior que o começo.
