← 2 Peter 2:21	2 Peter 2:22 (KJV)	2 Peter 3:1 →
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.	But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.	This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
