2 PETER 2:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
2 Pet 2:182 Pet 2:20
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.”
They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved — the ironic promise of freedom (eleutherothēta) comes from those in bondage (douleia). The corruption (phthora) they serve represents the ultimate servitude: moral dissolution. The principle of slavery to sin is universal: douleuō indicates not temporary constraint but permanent allegiance.
