For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.

If, after having escaped the polluting influences of the world, through knowing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, people are again entangled in them, and give way to them, their last state has become worse than their first.

Denn wenn sie, entflohen den Befleckungen der Welt durch die Erkenntnis des Herrn und Heilandes Jesus Christus, aber wiederum in diese verwickelt, überwältigt werden, so ist ihr Letztes ärger geworden als das Erste.

Ciertamente, si habiéndose ellos apartado de las contaminaciones del mundo, por el conocimiento del Señor y Salvador Jesucristo, y otra vez envolviéndose en ellas, son vencidos, sus postrimerías les son hechas peores que los principios.

Porque se, por causa do conhecimento do Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo, tiverem escapado das imundícies do mundo, e novamente se envolverem nelas, e forem vencidos, o fim será pior que o começo.

Portanto, aqueles que fugiram das corrupções do mundo por meio do conhecimento do Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo e, então, retornam àquelas corrupções novamente, o último estado deles é pior do que o primeiro.
