2 Peter 2:19 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

They're out here promising you freedom, but they're actually trapped by their own mess. Here's the thing — whatever controls you ends up owning you completely.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Don't take advice about freedom from people who aren't free themselves.
