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)

Hebrews 10:26-31
New Living Translation
26 Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. 27 There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. 28 For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. 30 For we know the one who said,
“I will take revenge.
I will pay them back.”[a]
He also said,
“The Lord will judge his own people.”[b]
31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
