Hebrews 6:4-6

6:4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 6:5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, 6:6 and then have committed apostasy, ¹  to renew them again to repentance, since ²  they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again ³  and holding him up to contempt.

Hebrews 10:26-29

10:26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, ⁴  10:27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury ⁵  of fire that will consume God’s enemies. ⁶  10:28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death ⁷  without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ⁸  10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ⁹  the Son of God, and profanes ¹⁰  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ¹¹  and insults the Spirit of grace?
