TRUST Ezekiel 33:13

"If I tell a righteous person that they will surely live, but then they trust in their righteousness and do evil, none of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered; they will die for the evil they have done."

Hebrews 10:36-39  You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For "In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay." (Isaiah 26:20; Habakkuk 2:3) And, "But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back." (Habakkuk 2:4) But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
2 Peter 2:17-22  These people (false teachers) are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for "people are slaves to whatever has mastered them." If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud."
Habakkuk 2:4-5  "See the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright--but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness--indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples.
