彼得前书 5:8
5:8 务要谨守、警醒，因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人。
希伯来书 10:32-39
10:32 你们要追念往日，蒙了光照以后，所忍受大争战的各样苦难。
10:33 一面被毁谤，遭患难，成了戏景，叫众人观看；一面陪伴那些受这样苦难的人。
10:34 因为你们体恤了那些被捆锁的人，并且你们的家业被人抢去，也甘心忍受，知道自己有更美长存的家业。
10:35 所以，你们不可丢弃勇敢的心，存这样的心必得大赏赐。
10:36 你们必须忍耐，使你们行完了 神的旨意，就可以得着所应许的。
10:37 “因为还有一点点时候，
那要来的就来，并不迟延。
10:38 只是义人必因信得生（注：“义人”有古卷作“我的义人”）；
他若退后，我心里就不喜欢他。”
10:39 我们却不是退后入沉沦的那等人，乃是有信心以致灵魂得救的人。
Deuteronomy 7:9 (ESV)
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Hebrews 10:32-39 (NIV)
32Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering.
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
34You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
35So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
