Hebrews 10:26-39 - A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin
26 Remember, if we sin willfully after we have gained a full knowledge of the Truth, there can be no further sacrifice for sin; 27 there is only a fearful anticipation of judgment, and a burning indignation which will destroy all opponents. 28 When a man disregarded the Law of Moses, he was, on the evidence of two or three witnesses, put to death without pity. 29 How much worse then, think you, will be the punishment deserved by those who have trampled underfoot the Son of God, who have treated the blood that rendered the Covenant valid--the very blood by which they were purified--as of no account, and who have outraged the Spirit of Love? 30 We know who it was that said-- 'It is for me to avenge, I will requite'; and again-- 'The Lord will judge his people.' 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
32 Call to mind those early days in which, after you had received the Light, you patiently underwent a long and painful conflict. 33 Sometimes, in consequence of the taunts and injuries heaped upon you, you became a public spectacle; and sometimes you suffered through having shown yourselves to be the friends of men who were in the very position in which you had been. 34 For you not only sympathized with those who were in prison, but you even took the confiscation of your possessions joyfully, knowing, as you did, that you had in yourselves a greater possession and a lasting one. 35 Do not, therefore, abandon the confidence that you have gained, for it has a great reward awaiting it. 36 You still have need of patient endurance, in order that, when you have done God's will, you may obtain the fulfillment of his promise.
37 'For there is indeed but a very little while ere He who is coming will have come, without delay; 38 And through faith the Righteous man shall find his Life, But, if a man draws back, my heart can find no pleasure in him.'
39 But we do not belong to those who draw back, to their Ruin, but to those who have faith, to the saving of their souls.
