Hebrews 10:26-39 - A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin
26 For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full-knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice, 27 But some fearful reception of judgment and fiery jealousy, about to devour the opposers. 28 Any one having set aside a law of Moses, apart from compassions, upon the testimony of two or three witnesses, dieth: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who hath trampled underfoot the Son of God, and, the blood of the covenant, hath esteemed, a profane thing, by which he had been made holy, and, unto the Spirit of favour, hath offered wanton insult? 30 For we know him that hath said - To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again - The Lord will judge his people. 31 A fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of a Living God!
32 But be calling to mind the former days, in which, once ye were illuminated, a great combat of sufferings, ye endured; - 33 Partly, indeed, because, both with reproaches and tribulations, ye were being made a spectacle, but, partly, because, into fellowship with them who were so involved, ye were brought; - 34 For, even with them who were in bonds, ye sympathised, and, unto the seizure of your goods, with joy, ye bade welcome, - knowing that ye have yourselves, for a better possession and an abiding. 35 Do not, then, cast away your freedom of speech, - the which hath a great recompense. 36 For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise.
37 For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry; 38 But, my righteous one, by faith, shall live, and, if he draw back, my soul delighteth not in him.
39 We, however, are not of a drawing back unto destruction, but, of faith, unto an acquisition of life.
