Hebrews 10:19-39

19Therefore, brothers and sisters, 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, through His flesh, 21and since we have 5a great priest 6over the house of God, 22let’s 7approach God 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’s hold firmly to the 12confession of our 13hope without wavering, for 14He who promised is faithful; 24and let’s consider how 15to 16encourage one another in love and 17good deeds, 25not abandoning our own 18meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but 19encouraging one another; and all the more as you see 20the day drawing near.

26For if we go on 21sinning willfully after receiving 22the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of 23judgment and 24the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 2825Anyone who has ignored the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 2926How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve 27who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean 28the blood of the covenant 29by which he was sanctified, and has 30insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know Him who said, “31Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “32The Lord will judge His people.” 31It is a 33terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the 34living God.

32But remember 35the former days, 36when, after being 37enlightened, you endured a great 38conflict of sufferings, 33partly by being 39made a public spectacle through insults and distress, and partly by becoming 4041companions with those who were so treated. 34For you 42showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted 43joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves 44a better and lasting possession. 35Therefore, do not throw away your 45confidence, which has a great 46reward. 36For you have need of 47endurance, so that when you have 48done the will of God, you may 49receive 50what was promised.3751For yet in a very little while, 52He who is coming will come, and will not delay.3853But My righteous one will live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. 39But 54we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith for the safekeeping of the soul.
