Hebrews 6:12

So that you will walk in the way of good men And keep to the paths of the righteous.

He who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, But the blameless will inherit good.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.
