Hebrews 10:28-39

Tree of Life Version

^{[a] 28} Anyone who rejected the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. ^{[b] 29} How much more severe do you think the punishment will be for the one who has trampled Ben-Elohim underfoot, and has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know the One who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “Adonai will judge His people.” ^{[c] 31} It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Suffering Perfects Yeshua’s Followers

³² But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings. ³³ Sometimes you were publicly exposed to abuses and afflictions, and other times you became partners with those who were treated this way. ³⁴ For you suffered along with the prisoners and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and lasting possession. ³⁵ Therefore, do not lose your boldness, which has great reward. ³⁶ For you need perseverance so that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet

³⁹ But we are not among the timid ones on the path to destruction, but among the faithful ones on the path to the preservation of the soul.
