Cleansed from all righteousness, to either remain clean or to be as a swine to turn to your wallowing in filth again, to be according to the true proverb, as the dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly AGAIN, as the Lord spoke peace unto His PEOPLE AND to His saints, they are instructed to NOT TURN AGAIN TO FOLLY.8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (1 Jn 1:8–10)
How does one wriggle out of these statements concerning their knowledge of their own sinfulness?
Now that is fully testified again, how the escape from those pollutions of the world came by the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, ( to be cleansed from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS) but they are still entangled in it, and then overcome, and so they had known the way of righteousnes ( to be cleansed from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS) but after they knew it they turned from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ( to be free from unrighteousness/sin)
Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 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.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members SERVANTS to righteousness unto holiness.
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Romans 6:22 But now being made FREE FROM SIN, and BECOME SERVANTS TO GOD, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Context us this, to awake to what is the example, not grab on the words that are no example.
1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
