The Just Live by Faith

26 For (D)if we sin willfully (E)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (F)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (G)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (H)witnesses. 29 (I)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (J)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (K)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (L)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, (M)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (N)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But (O)recall the former days in which, after you were [b]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made (P)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while (Q)you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on [c]me (R)in my chains, and (S)joyfully accepted the plundering of your [d]goods, knowing that (T)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves [e]in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (U)which has great reward. 36 (V)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (W)you may receive the promise:

37 “For (X)yet a little while,
And (Y)He[f] who is coming will come and will not [g]tarry.

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

32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(S) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(T) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(U) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(V) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(W) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(X) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(Y) it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere(Z) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(AA) 37 For,

“In just a little while,
    he who is coming(AB) will come
    and will not delay.”[c](AC)
