_*2 Peter 2:20-21*_ And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before. _(see. Mt 12:43-45 Lk 11:24-26)_ It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life. _*Commentary⤵️*_ Knowledge is responsibility. Once you've come to the knowledge of truth, you are responsible. Better really not to know. Jesus in Luke's gospel chapter twelve spoke about that servant who was given a position of overseeing his master's goods while the master went to a far country, and when the master didn't return, when the servant was expecting him, he said, "My Lord delays his coming"_(see. Luk 12:45)_. And he began to abuse his position, mistreating the other servants, beating them and all. And the master came in an hour when he wasn't expecting him. And he said, "Bind him up and cast him out. Give him his portion with the unbelievers". For he who knew the will of God and did not accordingly, Jesus said, "will be beaten with many stripes though he who knew the will of God or knew not the will of God yet did things worthy of many stripes will be beaten with few". For whom, to whom much is given, much is required. To whom little given, little required _(Luk 12:42-48)_. Knowledge is responsibility. I mean, God holds you responsible for what you know. It'd be better off to have never known than to know it and then to turn away. To know the truth and then to turn away from the truth puts you under a great jeopardy because now you are responsible. It isn't sinning ignorantly. It is knowingly. For if after, it would better -- okay.
