2 Peter 2:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 (A)[a]These are [b]wells without water, and clouds carried about with a tempest, to whom the [c]black darkness is reserved forever.
18 For in speaking [d]swelling words of vanity, they [e]beguile with wantonness through the lusts of the flesh them that were [f]clean escaped from them which are wrapped in error,
19 Promising unto them liberty, and are themselves the (B)servants of corruption: for of whomsoever a man is overcome, even unto the same is he in bondage.
