20 For if after they have ^aescaped the ^bpollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are ^cagain ^dentangled therein, and ^eovercome, the latter end is ^fworse with them than the beginning.

  17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when ^aaffliction or ^bpersecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

  38 Whosoever therefore shall be ^aashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the ^bSon of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy ^cangels.

  13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of ^atemptation fall away.

  43 For they loved the ^apraise of men more than the praise of God.

  3 For what if some did not believe? shall their ^aunbelief make the faith of God without effect?
