promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.

Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

επαγγελλομενοι εις αυτους ελευθεριαν, ενω αυτοι ειναι δουλοι της διαφθορας· διοτι απο οντινα νικαται τις, τουτου και δουλος γινεται.

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.
