Hebrews 10:28-11:2

English Standard Version

^28 (A)Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy ^(B)on the evidence of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one ^(C)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned ^(D)the blood of the covenant ^(E)by which he was sanctified, and has ^(F)outraged the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, ^(G)“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, ^(H)“The Lord will judge his people.” ^31 (I)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³² But recall the former days when, after ^(J)you were enlightened, you endured ^(K)a hard struggle with sufferings, ³³ sometimes being ^(L)publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. ³⁴ For ^(M)you had compassion on those in prison, and ^(N)you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had ^(O)a better possession and an abiding one. ³⁵ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has ^(P)a great reward. ³⁶ For ^(Q)you have need of endurance, so that ^(R)when you have done the will of God you may ^(S)receive what is promised. ³⁷ For,

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

By Faith

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of ^(W)things not seen. ² For by it the people of old received their commendation.
