8  I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn ^bagain to folly.

  20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are ^cagain entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

  13  Behold, I say unto you, Nay, let us retain our swords that they be not stained with the blood of our brethren; for perhaps, if we should stain our swords ^aagain they can no more be washed bright through the blood of the Son of our great God, which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.

  9  And now behold, my son, do not risk ^aone more offense against your God upon those points of doctrine, which ye have hitherto risked to commit sin.
