Exegesis
The aorist participle apophugontes {ἀποφυγόντες | apophugóntes} ‘having escaped’ is circumstantial, indicating a completed prior action with the object miasmata tou kosmou {μιάσματα τοῦ κόσμου | míasmata tou kósmou} ‘the pollutions of the world’ in a genitive of source.
In context — 2 Peter 2:20
For if, after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ , they again become entangled in these things and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
