26 (A)For if we sin [a]willingly after that we have received and acknowledged that truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a fearful looking for of judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the [b]adversaries.

28 [c]He that despiseth Moses’ Law, dieth without mercy (B)under two, or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye shall he be worthy, which treadeth under foot the Son of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?

30 [d]For we know him that hath said, (C)Vengeance belongeth unto me: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall [e]judge his people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
