Hebrews 10:19–31

A New and Living Way

¹⁹Therefore, brothers, since we ^ahave confidence to ^benter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰by ^aa new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^bthe veil, that is, His flesh,

²¹and since we have ^aa great priest ^bover the house of God,

²²let us ^adraw near with a ¹sincere heart in ^bfull assurance of faith, having our hearts ^csprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies ^dwashed with pure water.

²³Let us hold fast the ^aconfession of our ^bhope without wavering, for ^cHe who promised is faithful.

²⁴And let us consider how ^ato stimulate one another to love and ^bgood deeds,

²⁵not forsaking our own ^aassembling together, as is the habit of some, but ^bencouraging one another, and all the more as you see ^cthe day drawing near.

Warning Against Willful Sin

²⁶For if we go on ^asinning willfully after receiving ^bthe knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

²⁷but a terrifying expectation of ^ajudgment and ^bthe fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

^28aAnyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy by the mouth of two or three witnesses.

^29aHow much worse punishment do you think he will deserve ^bwho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as defiled ^cthe blood of the covenant ^dby which he was sanctified, and has ^einsulted the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know Him who said, “^aVengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “^bThe ¹Lord will judge His people.”

³¹It is a ^aterrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^bliving God.
