‏ 2 Peter 2:20-21

20For if, aafter they have escaped the defilements of the world bthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, cthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For dit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from ethe holy commandment delivered to them.
