33  But whosoever shall ^adeny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

  16  For I am not ^aashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

  12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we ^cdeny him, he also will deny us:

  30  And thus we can plainly discern, that after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God, and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have ^dfallen away into sin and transgression, they become more hardened, and thus their state becomes worse than though they had never known these things.

  5  For all those who will not endure chastening, but ^bdeny me, cannot be sanctified.

  4  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

  21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
