Bible Comments

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Allure, х deleazousin (G1185)] - 'lay baits for.' Through - `IN' the lusts of the flesh being the element IN which they lay their baits. Much wantonness, х aselgeiais (G766)] - 'by licentiousnesses,' the bait which they lay. Clean escaped, х ontos (G5607)] - 'really,' 'Aleph ('); but A B C, Vulgate х oligos (G3641)], 'scarcely,' or 'for a little time:' scarcely have they escaped from them who live in error (the ungodly world), when they are allured by these seducers into sin again (2 Peter 2:20).
