26 For (A)if we go on sinning deliberately (B)after receiving the knowledge of the truth, (C)there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 (D)but a fearful expectation of judgment, and (E)a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 (F)Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy (G)on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one (H)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned (I)the blood of the covenant (J)by which he was sanctified, and has (K)outraged the Spirit of grace?

And even (A)if our gospel is veiled, (B)it is veiled to (C)those who are perishing. In their case (D)the god of this world (E)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing (F)the light of (G)the gospel of the glory of Christ, (H)who is the image of God.

14 But (A)their minds were (B)hardened. For to this day, (C)when they read (D)the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when (E)one[a] turns to the Lord, (F)the veil is removed.

14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

(A)“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,

15 For this people's heart has grown dull,
    and with their ears (B)they can barely hear,

The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan (A)with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for (B)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore (C)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe (D)what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned (E)who did not believe the truth but (F)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: (A)“The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:

26 (B)“‘Go to this people, and say,

    and you will indeed see but never perceive.”

and understand with their heart

39 Therefore they (C)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

10 (A)For the Lord has poured out upon you
    a spirit of deep sleep,
and has closed your eyes (the prophets),
    and covered your heads (the seers).

11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is (B)sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”

13 And the Lord said:
“Because (C)this people (D)draw near with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
14 therefore, behold, (E)I will again
    do wonderful things with this people,
    with wonder upon wonder;
and (F)the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
    and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
