Hebrews 10:23-35
New King James Version
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for (A)He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 (B)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and (C)so much the more as you see (D)the Day approaching.
The Just Live by Faith
26 For (E)if we sin willfully (F)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (G)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (H)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (I)witnesses. 29 (J)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (K)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (L)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (M)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, (N)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (O)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But (P)recall the former days in which, after you were [b]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made (Q)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while (R)you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on [c]me (S)in my chains, and (T)joyfully accepted the plundering of your [d]goods, knowing that (U)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves [e]in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (V)which has great reward.
