Hebrews 10:26-39 - A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin

26 For if we sin willingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins: 27 but a fearful looking for judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despiseth Moses' law, dieth without mercy under two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be counted worthy, which treadeth underfoot the son of God: and counteth the blood of the testament as an unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doth dishonour to the spirit of grace. 30 For we know him that hath said, "Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord." And again, "the Lord shall judge his people." 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Call to remembrance the days that are passed in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in adversities, 33 partly while all men wondered and gazed at you for the shame and tribulation that was done unto you, and partly while ye became companions of them which so passed their time. 34 For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your goods, and that with gladness, knowing in yourselves how that ye had in heaven a better, and an enduring substance. 35 Cast not away, therefore, your confidence; which hath great reward to recompense. 36 For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a very little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry: 38 But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 We are not which withdraw ourselves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.
