Hebrews 10:26-31

New International Version

²⁶If we deliberately keep on sinning^(A) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,^(B) no sacrifice for sins is left, ²⁷but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire^(C) that will consume the enemies of God. ²⁸Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.^(D) ²⁹How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God^(E) underfoot,^(F) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant^(G) that sanctified them,^(H) and who has insulted the Spirit^(I) of grace?^(J) ³⁰For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”^[a]^(K) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”^[b]^(L) ³¹It is a dreadful thing^(M) to fall into the hands^(N) of the living God.^(O)

Hebrews 10:26-31

International Standard Version

²⁶For if we choose to go on sinning after we have learned the full truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷but only a terrifying prospect of judgment and a raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.^[a] ²⁸Anyone who violates the Law of Moses dies without mercy “on the testimony of two or three witnesses.”^[b] ²⁹How much more severe a punishment do you think that person deserves who tramples on God’s Son, treats as common the blood of the covenant by which it^[c] was sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace? ³⁰For we know the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back,”^[d] and again, “The Lord^[e] will judge his people.”^[f] ³¹It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
