Hebrews 10:26-35

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Warning against Deliberate Sin

²⁶ For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,^{(A) 27} but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries.^{(B) 28} If anyone disregards Moses’ law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.^{(C) 29} How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane^[a] the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace?^{(D) 30} For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay,^[b][c] and again, The Lord will judge His people.^{(E)[d] 31} It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!^(F)

³² Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.^{(G) 33} Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.^{(H) 34} For you sympathized with the prisoners^[e] and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession.^{[f](I) 35} So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.^(J)
