THEREFORE the scriptures abundantly warn men to watch over themselves diligently, and to give earnest heed least they fall away. 1 Cor. xv. 13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 1 Cor. x. 12. Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. Heb. iii. 12, 13, 14. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living GOD; but exhort one another daily, while it is called to day, least any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of CHRIST, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. Heb. iv. 1. Let us therefore fear, least a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2. Pet. iii. 17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. 2. Joh. v. 8. Look to yourselves that we lose not those things, which we have wrought; but that we receive a full reward.
