Hebrews 10:26-31

Expanded Bible

²⁶ If we ·decide to [deliberately] go on sinning after we have learned the ·truth [^Lknowledge of the truth], there is no longer any sacrifice for sins. ²⁷ There is nothing but ·fear in waiting for the [a fearful/terrifying expectation/prospect of] judgment and the ·terrible [raging; furious] fire that will ·destroy [consume; devour] ·all those who live against God [the enemies of God; ^Lthose who oppose; the adversaries]. ²⁸ Anyone who ·refused to obey [rejected; disregarded] the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the basis of the ·evidence [testimony] provided by two or three witnesses [Deut. 17:6]. ²⁹ So how much worse punishment do you think is deserved by those who ·do not respect [trample on; show contempt for] the Son of God, who ·look at the blood of the agreement that made them holy as no different from others’ blood [^Lprofane/treat as unholy/common the blood of the covenant], who insult the Spirit of God’s grace? ³⁰ We know that God said, “·I will punish those who do wrong [^TVengeance is mine]; I will repay them [Deut. 32:35].” And he also said, “The Lord will judge his people [Deut. 32:36; Ps. 135:14].” ³¹ It is a ·terrible [dreadful; terrifying] thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
