ALL of the epistle writers encouraged saved believers to stay savedPaul encourages saved people to stay saved.
From 20+ years ago, there's hope for some of these people here ...John 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
