In context
18 Huongea kwa majivuno matupu. Huwaangusha watu kwa tamaa ya mwili. Huwalaghai watu wanaojaribu kuwakimbia wale waishio katika ukosaji.
19 Huwaahidi watu uhuru wakati wao wenyewe ni watumwa wa dhambi ya ufisadi. Maana mwanadamu hufanywa kuwa mtumwa wa kile kinachomtawala.
20 Yeye ajiepushaye na uchafu wa ulimwengu kwa kutumia maarifa ya Bwana na mwokozi Yesu Kristo, na kisha akarudia uchafu huo tena, hali yake huwa mbaya kuliko ile ya mwanzo.
21 Ingefaa watu hao kama wasingeifahamu njia ya haki kuliko kuifahamu na kisha tena kuziacha amri takatifu walizopewa.
22 Mithali hii huwa na ukweli kwao. “mbwa huyarudia matapishi yake. Na nguruwe aliyeoshwa hurudi tena kwenye matope.”
