2 Peter 2:10‑22• 10and especially those that walk after flesh in lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not speaking railingly of dignities,
 11when angels, being greater in might and power, bring not against them before [the] Lord a railing charge.
 12But these, as irrational animals born by nature for capture and destruction, speaking evil in what things they are ignorant, shall also perish in their corruption,
 13receiving as they shall wages of unrighteousness, accounting [their] ephemeral luxury pleasure; spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their love feasts, feasting with you;
 14having eyes full of an adulteress and without cessation from sin; setting baits for unstable souls; having a heart practiced in covetousness, children of curse;
 15abandoning as they did a straight way, they went astray, following out in the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved wages of unrighteousness,
 16but had reproof of his own iniquity; a dumb beast of burden speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet.
 17These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved.
 18For uttering overswellings of vanity, they allure in lusts of the flesh, by dissolutenesses, those that are just escaping from them that walk in error,
 19promising them liberty while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is worsted, by him is he also held in bondage.
 20For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but again entangled and worsted thereby, the last for them is become worse than the first.
 21For it were better for them not to have known well the way of righteousness than knowing well to have turned back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
 22[But] there hath happened to them the [saying] of the true proverb, A dog returned to his own vomit, and A sow washed into rolling in mire. (2 Peter 2:10‑22)

1 Tim. 6:17• 17Those rich in the present age charge not to be highminded, nor to set their hope on uncertainty of riches, but on the God that affordeth us all things richly for enjoyment; (1 Tim. 6:17)
lovers of God.

Jude 4,19• 4For certain men have crept in unawares. They, who before of old were ordained to this sentence, ungodly men turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
