Since all of this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people and keep them safe in times of testing. But he also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard until the day they will be judged and punished.

It would have been better for them not to know the way of godliness than to know it but then turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. What the proverbs say is true about them: “A dog returns to where it has thrown up” and “a pig that is washed goes back to rolling in the mud.”

They promise to give them freedom, but they themselves are slaves to depravity. That’s because “people are slaves to anything that controls them.”

They may have escaped from the corruption of the world, and they may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But if they get tangled up again in sin, and it becomes their master, then they’re worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

But there were also false prophets among the people. In the same way, there will be false teachers among you. They’ll secretly bring in wrong teachings that can destroy you. They’ll even deny the Lord and Master who died to pay for their sins. So they will quickly destroy themselves.
