  • 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."
  • 1 John 5:16 : 16 If anyone sees a brother or sister committing a sin that does not lead to death, they should pray, and God will give life to them—those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying that one should pray about that.
  • Jude 1:12-13 : 12 These are hidden reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you fearlessly, shepherding only themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
  • Heb 6:4-8 : 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. 7 For the land that drinks in the rain that often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
  • Heb 10:26-31 : 26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severe punishment do you think someone deserves who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, treated as unholy the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
