Revelation 2:20-22
But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives My slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.Look! I will throw her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her practices.

Ezra 9:2-6
Indeed, the Israelite men have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has become mixed with the surrounding peoples. The leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!”When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and robe, pulled out some of the hair from my head and beard, and sat down devastated.Everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me, because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat devastated until the evening offering.At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation, with my tunic and robe torn. Then I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to Yahweh my God.And I said: My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face toward You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads and our guilt is as high as the heavens.

Ezra 10:1-6
While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered around him. The people also wept bitterly.Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, an Elamite, responded to Ezra:“ We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the surrounding peoples, but there is still hope for Israel in spite of this.Let us therefore make a covenant before our God to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. Let it be done according to the law.Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we support you. Be strong and take action!”Then Ezra got up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said; so they took the oath.Ezra then went from the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib, where he spent the night. He did not eat food or drink water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

2 Corinthians 7 7-2 Corinthians 7 11
and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.For even if I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it— even though I did regret it since I saw that the letter grieved you, yet only for a little while.Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance. For you were grieved as God willed, so that you didn’t experience any loss from us.For godly grief produces a repentance not to be regretted and leading to salvation, but worldly grief produces death.For consider how much diligence this very thing— this grieving as God wills— has produced in you: what a desire to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what deep longing, what zeal, what justice! In every way you showed yourselves to be pure in this matter.

1 Corinthians 4 6-1 Corinthians 4 8
Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying:“ Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you didn’t receive? If, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as if you hadn’t received it?You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us— and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you!

1 Corinthians 5 5-1 Corinthians 5 7
turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast permeates the whole batch of dough?Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
