Parallel
2 Peter 2:20
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (note: SBL and WH the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ), only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first.
