2 Peter / Question
Question source
2 Peter
Peter says false teachers lure others by appealing to sensual passions and promise “freedom.” He counters that they are actually “slaves of corruption,” because a person is “overcome” by what masters him. The point is that their message of freedom hides their own bondage. See 2 Peter 2:18–19.
18For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage.
