Hebrews 10:26-31

Christ's Once-for-All Offering and the Call to Draw Near, Hold Fast, and Endure

Hebrews 10 moves from the insufficiency of repeated sacrifices, to the sufficiency of Christ's once-for-all offering, to the new covenant assurance of forgiveness, to the church's duty to draw near, hold fast, encourage one another, heed the warning, and endure by faith.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

26If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.

28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

30For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
