2 Peter / Question
Question source
2 Peter
Peter describes people who escaped the world’s defilements through knowing Jesus Christ but become entangled again and overcome. He says “the last state has become worse for them than the first.” He concludes with proverbs about a dog returning to its vomit and a washed sow returning to the mire. See 2 Peter 2:20–22.
20For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first.
21For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog turns to his own vomit again," and "the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire."
