Hebrews 10:26-31

The Full Assurance of Faith

²⁶ For _d if we go on sinning deliberately _e after receiving the knowledge of the truth, _f there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ _g but a fearful expectation of judgment, and _h a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. ²⁸ _i Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy _j on the evidence of two or three witnesses. ²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one _k who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned _l the blood of the covenant _m by which he was sanctified, and has _n outraged the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, _o "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." And again, _p "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ _q It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
