If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

要知道，我们领受了真理的知识以后，如果还故意犯罪，就不再有赎罪的祭物被保留下来；只保留了对审判的可怕等待，和那将要吞灭敌对者的嫉恨之火。

原来，如果有人蒙过一次光照、尝过属天恩赐的滋味、曾经与圣灵有份、尝过神美善的话语和将要来临之世代的权能，却背弃了真理，就不可能再次更新以至于悔改了。因为他们亲自把神的儿子再次钉上十字架，公然羞辱他。要知道，当一块田地吸收了常常降在它上面的雨水，并且为种地的人长出有用菜蔬时，它就享受从神而来的祝福；但如果它长出荆棘和蒺藜，就没有用处了，很快就要被诅咒，它的结局就是被焚烧。

他们的结局就是灭亡；他们的神就是自己的私欲；他们的荣耀在自己的羞耻之中；他们所思想的都是地上的事。

“有个污灵从一个人身上出来以后，走遍无水之地，寻找安歇的地方，却找不到，就说：‘我要回到我离开的那屋里去。’于是它回去，发现那里已被打扫干净，摆设整齐，就去带了另外七个比自己更邪恶的灵，进去住在那里。那个人最后的情况就比先前更坏了。”

藉着这荣耀和美德，他把那些又宝贵又极大的应许赐给了我们，好使你们能藉着这些应许，逃脱世上因欲望而来的衰朽，成为在神的本性上有份的人。

他们说虚妄夸大的话，以肉体的欲望和好色的事来引诱人；这些被引诱的人好不容易才逃脱那些生活在迷途中的人；

愿恩典与平安，藉着你们真正认识神，我们的主耶稣，多多地加给你们！

“有个污灵从一个人身上出来以后，走遍无水之地，寻找安歇的地方，却找不到，就说：‘我要回到我离开的那屋里去。’于是它回去，发现那里空着，已被打扫干净，摆设整齐，就去带了另外七个比自己更邪恶的灵，进去住在那里。那个人最后的情况就比先前更坏了。这邪恶的世代也将是这样。”
