Hebrews 10:19–11:3
19 Therefore, brethren, since we ahave confidence to benter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by aa new and living way which He inaugurated for us through bthe veil, that is, His flesh,
21 and since we have aa great priest bover the house of God,
22 let us adraw near with a 1sincere heart in bfull assurance of faith, having our hearts csprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies dwashed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the aconfession of our bhope without wavering, for cHe who promised is faithful;
24 and let us consider how ato stimulate one another to love and bgood deeds,
25 not 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.
26 For if we go on asinning willfully after receiving bthe knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a terrifying expectation of ajudgment and bthe fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.
28 aAnyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 aHow much severer punishment do you think he will deserve bwho has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean cthe blood of the covenant dby which he was sanctified, and has einsulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know Him who said, “aVengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “bThe Lord will judge His people.”
31 It is a aterrifying thing to fall into the hands of the bliving God.
32 But remember athe former days, 1when, after being benlightened, you endured a great cconflict of sufferings,
33 partly by being amade a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming bsharers with those who were so treated.
34 For you ashowed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted bjoyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves ca better possession and a lasting one.
35 Therefore, do not throw away your aconfidence, which has a great breward.
36 For you have need of aendurance, so that when you have bdone the will of God, you may creceive 1what was promised.
37 aFor yet in a very little while,
bHe who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38 aBut My righteous one shall live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
39 But 1we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the 2preserving of the soul.
1 Now faith is the 1aassurance of things 2bhoped for, the 3conviction of cthings not seen.
2 For by it the amen of old 1bgained approval.
3 By faith we understand that the 1aworlds were prepared bby the word of God, so that what is seen cwas not made out of things which are visible.
