2 Peter 2:20-22

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁰ For if they - after they have escaped from the filthiness of the world through the acknowledging of the Lord and the Savior Jesus Christ - are once again entangled in it and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

²¹ For it had been better for them not to have acknowledged the way of righteousness than to turn from the holy commandment given to them after they have acknowledged it.

²² But it has come to them according to the true proverb, “The dog has returned to his own vomit,” and “a sow, being washed, to wallowing in the mire.”
