Hebrews 10:26-29
English Standard Version
26 For (A)if we go on sinning deliberately (B)after receiving the knowledge of the truth, (C)there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 (D)but a fearful expectation of judgment, and (E)a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 (F)Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy (G)on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one (H)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned (I)the blood of the covenant (J)by which he was sanctified, and has (K)outraged the Spirit of grace?

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(A) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(B) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(C) 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.(D) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(E) underfoot,(F) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(G) that sanctified them,(H) and who has insulted the Spirit(I) of grace?(J)

English Standard Version
20 For if, (A)after they have escaped the defilements of the world (B)through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, (C)the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For (D)it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from (E)the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The (F)dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
