Hebrews 10:19-39

19Therefore, brethren, since we 1have confidence to 2enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by 3a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through 4the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and since we have 5a great priest 6over the house of God, 22let us 7draw near with a 8sincere heart in 9full assurance of faith, having our hearts 10sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies 11washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the 12confession of our 13hope without wavering, for 14He who promised is faithful; 24and let us consider how 15to stimulate one another to love and 16good deeds, 25not forsaking our own 17assembling together, as is the habit of some, but 18encouraging one another; and all the more as you see 19the day drawing near.

26For if we go on 20sinning willfully after receiving 21the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of 22judgment and 23the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 2824Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 2925How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve 26who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean 27the blood of the covenant 28by which he was sanctified, and has 29insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know Him who said, “30Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “31The Lord will judge His people.” 31It is a 32terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the 33living God.

32But remember 34the former days, 35when, after being 36enlightened, you endured a great 37conflict of sufferings, 33partly by being 38made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming 39sharers with those who were so treated. 34For you 40showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted 41joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves 42a better possession and a lasting one. 35Therefore, do not throw away your 43confidence, which has a great 44reward. 36For you have need of 45endurance, so that when you have 46done the will of God, you may 47receive 48what was promised.3749For yet in a very little while, 50He who is coming will come, and will not delay.3851But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. 39But 52we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the 53preserving of the soul.
