2 Peter 2:19 | |
NASB: promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved. (NASB ©1995) GWT: They promise these people freedom, but they themselves are slaves to corruption. A person is a slave to whatever he gives in to. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: 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. ASV: promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. BBE: Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him. DBY: promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is subdued, by him is he also brought into slavery. WEY: And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight. WBS: While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage. WEB: promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him. YLT: liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude, | |
