ગુજરાતીપિતરનો બીજો પત્ર ૨:૧૮
તેઓ વ્યર્થતાની બડાઈની વાતો કહે છે. તેઓમાંથી જેઓ બચી જવાની તૈયારીમાં છે તેઓને દૈહિક વિષયોથી તથા ભ્રષ્ટાચારથી લલચાવે છે.
हिन्दी2 पतरस २:१८
वे व्यर्थ घमण्ड की बातें कर करके लुचपन के कामों के द्वारा, उन लोगों को शारीरिक अभिलाषाओं में फँसा लेते हैं, जो भटके हुओं में से अभी निकल ही रहे हैं।

In context

16but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

17These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

18For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

19promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

20For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
