Ingelikuwa afadhali kwao kama wasingeliijua kamwe njia ya haki, kuliko kuijua kisha wakaiacha ile amri takatifu waliyokabidhiwa.

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them.
Context
19Huwaahidi uhuru hao waliowanasa, wakati wao wenyewe ni watumwa wa ufisadi: kwa maana mtu ni mtumwa wa kitu chochote kinachomtawala. 20Kama wameukimbia upotovu wa dunia kwa kumjua Bwana wetu na Mwokozi Yesu Kristo, kisha wakanaswa tena humo na kushindwa, hali yao ya mwisho ni mbaya zaidi kuliko ile ya kwanza. 21Ingelikuwa afadhali kwao kama wasingeliijua kamwe njia ya haki, kuliko kuijua kisha wakaiacha ile amri takatifu waliyokabidhiwa. 22Imetukia kwao sawasawa na ile mithali ya kweli isemayo: “Mbwa huyarudia matapiko yake mwenyewe,” tena, “Nguruwe aliyeoshwa hurudi kugaagaa matopeni.”
