26 For (G)if we go on sinning deliberately (H)after receiving the knowledge of the truth, (I)there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 (J)but a fearful expectation of judgment, and (K)a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 (L)Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy (M)on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one (N)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned (O)the blood of the covenant (P)by which he was sanctified, and has (Q)outraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, (R)“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, (S)“The Lord will judge his people.” 31 (T)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
