Study Note
The sharp paradox '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' identifies false teachers' promise of freedom as itself the mechanism of enslavement. The logic draws on the Stoic paradox that only the wise man is truly free and every wicked person is a slave to passion — here applied to the antinomian teachers who use 'liberty' as a cloak for licentiousness (2 Peter 2:13-14). The principle 'of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage' is a universal anthropological claim: mastery over a person creates a new form of personal ownership. Paul's 'freedom' language in Galatians 5:1-13 navigates the same paradox of a freedom that can itself become an 'occasion to the flesh.'
