Hebrews 10:38-39
38 abut my righteous one shall live by faith,and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39But 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
18For, bspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely cescaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them dfreedom, ebut they themselves are slaves ▼▼Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20For if, gafter they have escaped the defilements of the world hthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, ithe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For jit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from kthe holy commandment delivered to them. 22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The ldog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” 1 John 2:9
9Whoever says he is in the light and mhates his brother is still in darkness.
