For this destructible must put on indestructibleness, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Where, death, is your sting? where, death, is your victory? And the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 6:43-45

For there is no good tree which bears bad fruit, nor, again, a bad tree which bears good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from brambles. The good man out of the good treasury of his heart brings forth good, and the evil man out of the evil brings forth evil; for out of the abundance of the heart its mouth speaks.

Matthew 7:17-18

So every good tree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruits; a good tree cannot bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree good fruits.

2 Peter 2:1-19

But there were also false prophets among the people, as there shall also be false teachers among you, who shall bring in by stealth destructive heresies, even denying the master that bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction; and many shall follow their lewdness, on account of whom the way of truth shall be reviled, and with covetousness they will make a gain of you with feigned words, whose judgment a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not. read more.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but plunging them into Tartarus delivered them up in chains to be kept in darkness till the judgment, and spared not the old world, but preserved Noah a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, bringing the flood on the world of the ungodly, and condemned Sodom and Gomorrah to be overthrown, reducing them to ashes, making them an example to those who should afterwards be wicked, and delivered righteous Lot, vexed by the lewd conduct of the wicked;??8 for that righteous man living among them vexed his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their wicked deeds;??9 the Lord knows how to deliver the pious from trial, and to keep the wicked to the day of judgment to be punished, but especially those who walk after the flesh, in corrupt desires, and despise goverment. Presumptuous, self-complacent, they fear not to revile glories, where the angels who are greater in strength and power do not bring against them a reproachful judgment; but these, like irrational animals, brutes made to be taken and destroyed, reviling things which they do not understand, will also be destroyed in their depravity, receiving the wages of wickedness, accounting luxury in the day-time a pleasure, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceptions while feasting with you, having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, cursed children, having left the right way they have gone astray, following in the way of Balaam the son of Beor who loved the wages of wickedness, but had a rebuke of his transgression; the dumb ass, speaking with a man's voice, forbade the madness of the prophet. These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a tempest, to which is reserved the blackness of darkness. For speaking extravagant words of vanity, they entice with carnal desires of lewdness those scarcely escaped from them, those living in error, promising them liberty, when they themselves are servants of corruption; for by whatever a man is overcome, to this is he made a servant.
