Hebrews 10:26-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 For if we willfully persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins(A) 27 but a fearful prospect of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.(B) 28 Anyone who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy “on the testimony of two or three witnesses.”(C) 29 How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by those who have spurned the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant by which they were sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace?(D) 30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.”[a] And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”(E) 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 9:12-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 he entered once for all into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.(A) 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified,(B) 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit[a] offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[b] conscience from dead works to worship the living God!(C)
15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, because a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.[c](D) 16 Where a will[d] is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For a will[e] takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.
