The Appearance of False Prophets
2 But (A)false prophets also appeared among the people, just as there will also be (B)false teachers (C)among you, who will (D)secretly introduce (E)destructive heresies, even (F)denying the (G)Master who (H)bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 Many will follow their (I)indecent behavior, and because of them (J)the way of the truth will be (K)maligned;

2 Peter 2:21-22
New American Standard Bible
21 (A)For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from (B)the holy commandment (C)handed on to them. 22 [a]It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “(D)A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”

Hebrews 6:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 For it is (A)impossible, in the case of those who have once been (B)enlightened and have tasted of (C)the heavenly gift and have been made (D)partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and (E)have tasted the good (F)word of God and the powers of (G)the age to come, 6 and then have [a]fallen away, to (H)restore them again to repentance, [b](I)since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7 For ground that drinks the rain which often [c]falls on it and produces vegetation useful to those (J)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and [d](K)close to being cursed, and [e]it ends up being burned.

47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accordance with his will, will (A)receive many blows, 48 but the one who did not (B)know it, and committed acts deserving of [a]a beating, will receive only a few blows.
