³² remember the wife of Lot.

²⁶ And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she is -- a pillar of salt!

³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

¹⁸ for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

¹⁹ 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,

²⁰ for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first,

²¹ for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged `it', to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,

²² and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, `A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.'

¹⁷ And it cometh to pass when he hath brought them out without, that he saith, `Escape for thy life; look not expectingly behind thee, nor stand thou in all the circuit; to the mountain escape, lest thou be consumed.'

⁶ and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'

⁸ neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

⁹ neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;

¹⁰ neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

¹¹ And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

¹² so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe, lest he fall.
