Hebrews 10:26-39 - A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin
26 For if we sin deliberately, after receiving the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 nothing but an awful outlook of doom, of that burning Wrath which will consume the foes of God. 28 Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy, on the evidence of two or of three witnesses. 29 How much heavier, do you suppose, will be the punishment assigned to him who has spurned the Son of God, who has profaned the covenant-blood with which he was sanctified, who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 We know who said, Vengeance is mine, I will exact a requital: and again, The Lord will pass sentence on his people. 31 It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle of suffering, 33 partly by being held up yourselves to obloquy and anguish, partly by making common cause with those who fared in this way; 34 for you did sympathize with the prisoners, and you took the confiscation of your own belongings cheerfully, conscious that elsewhere you had higher, you had lasting, possessions. 35 Now do not drop that confidence of yours; it carries with it a rich hope of reward. 36 Steady patience is what you need, so that after doing the will of God you may get what you have been promised.
37 For in a little, a very little now, The Coming One will arrive without delay. 38 Meantime my just man shall live on by his faith; if he shrinks back, my soul takes no delight in him.
39 We are not the men to shrink back and be lost, but to have faith and so to win our souls.
