Hebrews 10:24-39 - Encourage Each Other
24 And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct; 25 not neglecting--as some habitually do--to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.
26 For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins. 27 There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies of the truth. 28 Any one who bids defiance to the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace? 30 For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me: I will pay back;" and again, "The Lord will be His people's judge." 31 It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the ever-living God.
32 But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings. 33 This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated. 34 For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain. 35 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward. 36 For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.
37 For there is still but a short time and then "The coming One will come and will not delay. 38 But it is by faith that My righteous servant shall live; and if he shrinks back, My soul takes no pleasure in him."
39 But we are not people who shrink back and perish, but are among those who believe and gain possession of their souls.
