  • Matt 7:27 : 27 The rain came down, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and struck against that house, and it collapsed with a great crash.
  • Matt 27:3-8 : 3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned. Feeling remorse, he returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 He said, 'I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.' But they replied, 'What is that to us? You take care of it.' 5 Then, throwing the silver pieces into the temple, he left. He went and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the silver pieces and said, 'It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.' 7 So they consulted together and used the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 For this reason, that field has been called 'The Field of Blood' to this day.
  • Acts 1:18-19 : 18 (With the reward he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.) 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their own language, Akeldama, which means 'Field of Blood.'
  • 1 Cor 3:11-14 : 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each one’s work will become evident, for the Day will make it clear because it will be revealed by fire. The fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.
  • 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 6:11 : 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that your hope may be fully realized.

  • 2 Pet 2:19-22 : 19 They promise freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave to whatever has mastered them. 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."
  • 2 John 1:8 : 8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward.
