Hebrews 10:23-35
New Living Translation
23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27 There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. 28 For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. 30 For we know the one who said,
“I will take revenge.
I will pay them back.”[a]
He also said,
“The Lord will judge his own people.”[b]
31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.[c] Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. 33 Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. 34 You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.
35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!

Hebrews 10:23-35
New International Version
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(A) we profess,(B) for he who promised is faithful.(C) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(D) 25 not giving up meeting together,(E) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(F)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(G)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(H) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(I) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(J) that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.(K) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(L) underfoot,(M) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(N) that sanctified them,(O) and who has insulted the Spirit(P) of grace?(Q) 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a](R) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[b](S) 31 It is a dreadful thing(T) to fall into the hands(U) of the living God.(V)
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(W) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(X) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(Y) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(Z) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(AA) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(AB) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(AC) it will be richly rewarded.
