Apostasy » Guilt and punishment of
not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. For, if we sin wilfully after we received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fierceness of fire about to devour the opposers. read more.
Anyone, having set aside Moses' law, dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses; of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who trampled under foot the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant with which He was sanctified an unholy thing, and treated with contempt the Spirit of grace? For we know Him Who said, To Me belongs vengeance; I will recompense," saith the Lord; and again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

Verse Concepts
For if, after having escaped the defilements of the world in a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but, having again become entangled with these, they are overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first. For it were better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A dog having returned to his own vomit"; and "A sow that was washed, to her wallowing in mire."
