But he that lacketh these things is blind and gropeth for the way with his hand, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

And many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of;

and receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spots they are, and filthiness, living at pleasure, and in deceitful ways feasting with you:

and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

For it had been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, then after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment given unto them.
