8 Bible Verses about Castaways

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

"Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

For if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
