Hebrews 10:26-31

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, ¹  10:27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury ²  of fire that will consume God’s enemies. ³  10:28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death ⁴  without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ⁵  10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for ⁶  the Son of God, and profanes ⁷  the blood of the covenant that made him holy, ⁸  and insults the Spirit of grace? 10:30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” ⁹  and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” ¹⁰  10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
