Hebrews 10:23-27

The Full Assurance of Faith

²³ _x Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for _y he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And _z let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ²⁵ _a not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and _b all the more as you see _c the Day drawing near.

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.
