Hebrews 10:23-36

23Let us hold fast the unwavering confession of hope, for He who promised is faithful.

24And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds.

25And do not neglect our own meetings, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another—and all the more so as you see the Day approaching.

26For if we keep on sinning willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27but only a terrifying expectation of judgment and a fury of fire about to devour the enemies of God.

28Anyone who rejected the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

29How much more severe do you think the punishment will be for the one who has trampled Ben-Elohim underfoot, and has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30For we know the One who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “Adonai will judge His people.”

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

32But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings.

33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to abuses and afflictions, and other times you became partners with those who were treated this way.

34For you suffered along with the prisoners and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and lasting possession.

35Therefore, do not lose your boldness, which has great reward.

36For you need perseverance so that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
