2 Pedro 2

cumpliéndose en ellos lo que suele significarse por aquel refrán verdadero: Se volvió el perro a comer lo que vomitó; y: La marrana lavada, a revolcarse en el cieno.

Porque mejor les hubiera sido no haber conocido el camino de la justicia, que después de haberlo conocido, tornarse atrás del santo mandamiento que les fué dado.

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.

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