2 Peter 2:20-21 CSB [20] For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of the Lord  and Savior Jesus Christ,  they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.  [21] For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness  than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command  delivered  to them.  https://bible.com/bible/1713/2pe.2.20-21.CSB
