2 Peter 2:19 in Context — 2 Peter 2
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.
21 Porque melhor teria lhes sido se não tivessem conhecido o caminho da justiça do que, depois de conhecerem, terem se desviado do santo mandamento que havia lhes sido entregue.
