Hebrews 10:24-39 - Encourage Each Other
24 and let us observe one another for a provocation of love and of good works, 25 not forsaking our own congregation as some are in the habit of [doing], but exhorting [others], and so much the more as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willingly after having received the knowledge of the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice left for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which is about to consume the adversaries. 28 Any one who despised the law of Moses died without mercy by two or three witnesses; 29 of how much greater punishment do you suppose he will be thought worthy, who has trodden down the Son of God, and accounted defiled the blood of the covenant with which he was purified, and treated injuriously the Spirit of grace. 30 For we know him that said, Judgment belongs to me, I will repay. And again, The Lord will judge his people. 31 It is fearful to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But remember the former days, in which having been enlightened you endured a great conflict with sufferings, 33 partly in being made a spectacle by reproaches and afflictions, and partly being companions of those so treated. 34 For you sympathized with those in bonds, and received with joy the plunder of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession, and one that endures. 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of patience, that having done the will of God you may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay; 38 but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he draws back my soul takes no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of faith to the saving of the soul.
