2 Peter 1:4-11 King James Version (KJV) 4 Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust. 5 And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and
to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you,
and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things
is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from
his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren,
give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:12 King
James Version (KJV) 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 9:27 King
James Version (KJV) 27 But I keep under my body, and
bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to
others, I myself should be a castaway.
2 Peter 2:20-22 King James
Version (KJV) 20 For if after they have escaped
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse
with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them
not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to
turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them
according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the
sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
