Hebrews 10:38

^aBut My righteous one shall live by faith,

And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

Hebrews 10:39

39 But ¹we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the ²preserving of the soul.

2 Peter 2:20-22

20 For if they are overcome, having both ^aescaped the defilements of the world by ^bthe knowledge of the ^cLord and Savior Jesus Christ and having again been ^dentangled in them, then ^ethe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 ^aFor it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from ^bthe holy commandment ^chanded on to them. 22 The ¹message of the true proverb has happened to them, “^aA dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
