10 but|strong="G1161" chiefly|strong="G3122" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" walk|strong="G4198" after|strong="G3694" the|strong="G1722" flesh|strong="G4561" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" lust|strong="G1939" of|strong="G2532" defilement, and|strong="G2532" despise|strong="G2706" dominion|strong="G2963". Daring|strong="G5113", self-willed, they|strong="G2532" tremble|strong="G5141" not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2532" rail at|strong="G1722" dignities|strong="G1391":

12 But|strong="G1161" these|strong="G3778", natural|strong="G5446" creatures|strong="G2226" without|strong="G2532" reason, made|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2532" taken and|strong="G2532" destroyed|strong="G5356", railing in|strong="G1722" matters whereof|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" ignorant, shall|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G2532" destroying surely be|strong="G2532" destroyed|strong="G5356",

16 but|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" was|strong="G3588" rebuked|strong="G1649" for|strong="G1161" his|strong="G1722" own|strong="G2398" transgression|strong="G3892": a|strong="G2192" dumb ass|strong="G5268" spake with|strong="G1722" man’s|strong="G2192" voice|strong="G5456" and|strong="G1161" stayed the|strong="G1722" madness|strong="G3913" of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" prophet|strong="G4396".
17 These|strong="G3778" are|strong="G1510" springs|strong="G4077" without|strong="G2532" water, clouds driven|strong="G1643" by|strong="G5259" a|strong="G2532" storm|strong="G2978"; for|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3739" the|strong="G2532" blackness|strong="G2217" of|strong="G5259" darkness|strong="G4655" hath|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1510" reserved|strong="G5083" forever.
18 For|strong="G1063", uttering great|strong="G5350" swelling|strong="G5246" words of|strong="G1722" vanity|strong="G3153", they|strong="G3588" entice|strong="G1185" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" lusts|strong="G1939" of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" flesh|strong="G4561", by|strong="G1722" lascivious doings, those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3588" truly|strong="G1722" escaped from|strong="G3588" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" live in|strong="G1722" error|strong="G4106";
19 promising|strong="G1861" them|strong="G3588" liberty|strong="G1657", while|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" themselves|strong="G3778" are|strong="G3588" bondservants of|strong="G2532" corruption|strong="G5356"; for|strong="G1063" of|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3739" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5100" is|strong="G3588" overcome|strong="G2274", of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G3778" is|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" brought|strong="G2532" into|strong="G1401" bondage|strong="G1402".
20 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487", after|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" escaped the|strong="G1722" defilements|strong="G3393" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" world|strong="G2889" through|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" knowledge|strong="G1922" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" and|strong="G2532" Savior|strong="G4990" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", they|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825" entangled|strong="G1707" therein|strong="G1722" and|strong="G2532" overcome|strong="G2274", the|strong="G1722" last|strong="G2078" state is|strong="G3588" become|strong="G1096" worse|strong="G5501" with|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588" than|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" first|strong="G4413".
21 For|strong="G1063" it|strong="G1063" were|strong="G1510" better|strong="G2909" for|strong="G1063" them|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G3361" have|strong="G1510" known|strong="G1921" the|strong="G1537" way|strong="G3598" of|strong="G1537" righteousness|strong="G1343", than|strong="G2228", after|strong="G1063" knowing|strong="G1921" it|strong="G1063", to|strong="G3361" turn|strong="G3860" back|strong="G5290" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" holy commandment|strong="G1785" delivered|strong="G3860" unto|strong="G3860" them|strong="G3588".
