Hebrews 10:26-31
Christian Standard Bible
Warning against Deliberate Sin
26 For if we deliberately go on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,(A) 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries.(B) 28 Anyone who disregarded the law of Moses died without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.(C) 29 How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, who has regarded as profane[a] the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?(D) 30 For we know the one who has said,
and again,
31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.(F)

Common English Bible
Judgment for intentional sin
26 If we make the decision to sin after we receive the knowledge of the truth, there isn’t a sacrifice for sins left any longer. 27 There’s only a scary expectation of judgment and of a burning fire that’s going to devour God’s opponents. 28 When someone rejected the Law from Moses, they were put to death without mercy on the basis of the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think is deserved by the person who walks all over God’s Son, who acts as if the blood of the covenant that made us holy is just ordinary blood, and who insults the Spirit of grace? 30 We know the one who said,
Judgment is mine; I will pay people back.[a]
And he also said,
The Lord will judge his people.[b]
31 It’s scary to fall into the hands of the living God!
