2 Peter2:19
19 While they promise them liberty , they themselves are the servants of corruption : for of whom a man is overcome, of the same he is brought in bondage .
Liberty for their Lusts, and so from the Yoke of the Divine Law. They abused the Name of Christian Liberty, and extended it to Licentiousness.
Under the Power and Dominion of Sin.
He alludes to the Law of War, according to which, he that is overcome, and taken captive by his Enemy, becomes his Servant. These false Teachers that talked so much of Christian Liberty, yet being overcome by their own Lusts, and kept under by them, were the worst of Slaves.
