Context Readings

A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin

27 But there remains a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fiery indignation, which will devour God's enemies. 28 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 What about those who despise the Son of God? Those who treat as a cheap thing the blood of God's covenant that purified them from sin? Those who insult the Spirit of grace? Think how much worse the punishment they deserve will be!
