Context of Hebrews 10:29
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. How 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.

Commentaries on Hebrews 10:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Of how much sorer punishment - Such offenses were trifling in comparison of this, and in justice the punishment should be proportioned to the offense. Trodden under foot the Son of God - Treated him with the utmost contempt and blasphemy. The blood of the covenant - an unholy thing - The blood of the covenant means here the sacrificial death of Christ, by which the new covenant between God and man was ratified, sealed, and confirmed. And counting this…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy - That is, he who renounces Christianity ought to be regarded as deserving a much severer punishment than the man who apostatized from the Jewish religion, and if he ought to be so regarded he will be - for God will treat every man as he ought to be treated. This must refer to future punishment, for the severest punishment was inflicted on the apostate from the Jewish religion which can…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 26-31Verses 26-31 The exhortations against apostacy and to perseverance, are urged by many strong reasons. The sin here mentioned is a total and final falling away, when men, with a full and fixed will and resolution, despise and reject Christ, the only Saviour; despise and resist the Spirit, the only Sanctifier; and despise and renounce the gospel, the only way of salvation, and the words of eternal life. Of this destruction God gives some notorious sinners…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-29The author compares two situations, one less severe and one more severe (see study note on Hebrews 9:14). The less severe situation is the old punishment of death for someone who refused to follow the law of Moses (see Deuteronomy 13:6–11). The more severe situation involves those who reject Christ and show him disrespect. How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished: Eternal damnation awaits those who have rejected Christ. The blood of…Read the comment

So he treads under foot God Himself who "glorified His Son as an high priest" (He 5:5; 6:6). an unholy thing--literally, "common," as opposed to "sanctified." No better than the…Read the comment
