'Fails' in the Bible
"I'm telling you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails, they will welcome you into eternal homes.
Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled.
For whoever keeps the whole Law but fails in one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Therefore, anyone who knows what is right but fails to do it is guilty of sin.
This is how God's children and the Devil's children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.
