6 ethose who have turned back from following the Lord,fwho do not seek the Lord or inquire of him.”
Matthew 13:20-21
20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately greceives it with joy, 21yet he has no root in himself, but hendures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately ihe falls away. ▼▼Or stumbles
John 6:66-70
66 kAfter this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67So Jesus said to lthe twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have mthe words of eternal life, 69and nwe have believed, and have come to know, that oyou are pthe Holy One of God.” 70Jesus answered them, q“Did I not choose you, rthe twelve? And yet one of you is sa devil.”Galatians 5:7
7 tYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying uthe truth?Hebrews 10:38-39
38 vbut 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.
