2 Peter 2:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 (A)[a] For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Savior Jesus Christ, are yet tangled again therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have acknowledged the way of righteousness, than after they have acknowledged it, to turn from the holy commandment given unto them.
22 But it is come unto them according to the true proverb, (B)The dog is returned to his own vomit: and the sow that was washed, to the wallowing in the mire.
