2 Peter 2:18
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.

Study Note
The description of false teachers who 'by speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error' identifies the rhetorical strategy of false teaching: impressive-sounding speech appealing to sexual passion targets the newly converted and spiritually vulnerable. The phrase 'barely escaping' (oligōs apopheuguntas) suggests recent converts still in the threshold of the new life, particularly susceptible to teaching that legitimizes a return to previous patterns. The verse reflects the specific danger of antinomian teaching that promised freedom (verse 19) while actually leading back into the slavery from which the converts had been rescued. Jude 16 describes the same pattern in nearly identical terms, confirming shared source material for the two epistles' portrait of false teachers.
