Genesis 19:26

26 But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became ^ca pillar of salt.

1 Corinthians 10:6-12

6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as ^dthey did. 7 ^eDo not be idolaters ^fas some of them were; as it is written, ^g“The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” 8 ^hWe must not indulge in sexual immorality ⁱas some of them did, and ^jtwenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ ^{▼▼Some manuscripts the Lord} to the test, ^las some of them did and ^mwere destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, ⁿas some of them did and ^owere destroyed by ^pthe Destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but ^qthey were written down for our instruction, ^ron whom the end of the ages has come. 12 Therefore ^slet anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

Hebrews 10:38-39

38 ^tbut my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

2 Peter 2:18-22

18 For, ^uspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely ^vescaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them ^wfreedom, ^xbut they themselves are slaves ^{▼▼Greek bondservants} of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, ^zafter they have escaped the defilements of the world ^aathrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, ^abthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For ^acit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from ^adthe holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The ^aedog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
