II Peter 2:19-20 ” They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity – for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.”

The Apostle Peter was warning of false teachers of the time that were advocating and practicing immorality by twisting Peter’s declaration that as Believers we are free, (I Peter 2:16) thus it meant we were free from any restraint – including God’s moral law. These false teachers especially preyed upon new converts and those not yet well grounded in their faith & in God’s Word. What they taught sounded too good to be true, and it was…for in the end their form of “freedom” was far from free and came at a horrible price.
