  • Matt 27:3-8 : 3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See to that yourself. 5 And he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8 Therefore that field is called the Field of Blood to this day.
  • Acts 1:18-19 : 18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own language, Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.
  • 1 Cor 3:11-14 : 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw; 13 Each one's work will become clear: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
  • Heb 6:4-8 : 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 And have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 If they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7 For the land that drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and produces crops useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God: 8 But that which bears thorns and thistles is rejected, and is near to being cursed, its end is to be burned.
  • Heb 6:11 : 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

  • 2 John 1:8 : 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we have worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
