  • Heb 10:32-39 : 32 Remember those earlier days after you had been enlightened, when you endured a hard struggle with suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insults and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 For you sympathized with those in prison and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowing that you have a better and lasting possession in heaven. 35 So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 You need endurance so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37 For yet in a very little while, the One who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul will have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but among those who have faith for the preservation of the soul.
  • 2 John 1:8 : 8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward.
  • 2 Pet 2:20-22 : 20 For if, after escaping the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 Of them the true proverb has come true: "A dog returns to its own vomit," and, "A sow that is washed returns to wallowing in the mud."
  • Ezek 18:24 : 24 But if a righteous person turns away from their righteousness and commits sin, doing the same detestable things the wicked do, will they live? None of the righteous deeds they have done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.
  • 1 Cor 15:2 : 2 Through this gospel you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
  • Heb 6:4-6 : 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 if they fall away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying the Son of God again for themselves and subjecting Him to public disgrace.
