Hebrews 10:28-39

28Anyone who disregarded the law of Moses died without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, who has regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30For we know the one who has said, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge his people.

31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.

33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.

34For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, because you know that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession.

35So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

36For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.

37For yet in a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.

38But my righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, I have no pleasure in him.

39But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.
