John 15:4-6

4 aAbide bin me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; cyou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that dbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in me ehe is thrown away like a branch and withers; fand the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

Acts 27:31

Hebrews 3:14

14For we have come to share in Christ, iif indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

Hebrews 6:4-8

4For it is impossible, in the case of those jwho have once been enlightened, who have tasted kthe heavenly gift, and lhave shared in the Holy Spirit, 5and mhave tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and nthen have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since othey are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7For pland that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8But qif it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, rand its end is to be burned.

Hebrews 10:26-30

26For sif we go on sinning deliberately tafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, uthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 vbut a fearful expectation of judgment, and wa fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 xAnyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy yon the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one zwho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned aathe blood of the covenant abby which he was sanctified, and has acoutraged the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, adVengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, ae“The Lord will judge his people.”

Hebrews 10:39

39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
