For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

And many will follow their dissolute ways, by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of;

they have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they allure in the lusts of the flesh, by dissolute ways, such as were in some measure escaping from those who live in error;

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
