رِسَالَةُ بُطْرُسَ ٱلرَّسُولِ ٱلثَّانِيَةُ 2:21

لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طَرِيقَ ٱلْبِرِّ، مِنْ أَنَّهُمْ بَعْدَمَا عَرَفُوا، يَرْتَدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ ٱلْمُسَلَّمَةِ لَهُمْ.

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.
