  • Rev 3:3 : 3 Remember, then, what you have received and heard; keep it and repent. If you are not alert, I will come unexpectedly like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.
  • Rev 2:4-5 : 4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
  • Heb 10:38-39 : 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 Pet 2:10-20 : 10 especially those who follow the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. They are bold and arrogant, and they are unafraid to slander celestial beings. 11 Yet even angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against such beings before the Lord. 12 These people, however, are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They speak abusively about things they do not understand, and in their destruction, they too will be destroyed. 13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. They consider it a pleasure to indulge in carousing during the day. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions while they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery, never ceasing from sin. They entice unstable souls and have hearts trained in greed. They are accursed children. 15 They have abandoned the straight way and gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—that spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness. 17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness has been reserved for them forever. 18 For they utter arrogant, empty words and entice those who are barely escaping from others living in error, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh and by debauchery. 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.
  • Rom 12:16 : 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

  • Gal 5:7 : 7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
  • Eph 5:2-8 : 2 And walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial offering to God, a pleasing aroma. 3 But sexual immorality, all impurity, or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper for saints. 4 Nor should there be filthiness, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For you know this with certainty, that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person—who is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore, do not be partners with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
