Captive or free

“‭1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ‭2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ‭3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ‭4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ‭5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. ‭6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ‭7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

“‭6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. ‭7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ‭8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” Ephesians 4:6-8

“‭18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.” Psalms 68:18

“‭25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; ‭26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:25-26

“‭24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ‭25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;” Luke 21:24-25.

“‭9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. ‭10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” Revelation 13:9-10
