Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
