"While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage" KJV (2 Peter 2:19).
Contemporary version:
"They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves to corrupt habits" - Twentieth Century NT: "for a man is a slave of whatever overpowers him" - Moffatt
(2 Peter 2:19).
Additional verse to cement our thinking:
"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" (Romans 6:16)
