1 Corinthians 7:37

But if someone has made up their mind and feels completely confident about it — they're not being pressured by anyone, they have full control over their choice — and they've decided in their heart to stay single, that's a really good decision too.

And when someone who's been doing wrong decides to turn their life around and start doing what's right and good, they'll actually save their own life.

But if someone who's been doing wrong decides to completely change their ways — like, actually turns away from all the bad stuff they've done and starts following my rules and doing what's right — they're going to live. They won't face death.
