Hebrews 10:29-39 ▼

29 don't you think then that he deserves a much greater punishment, who hath despised the son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant wherewith be was sanctified, to have been justly shed, thereby offering an indignity to the spirit of grace?

30 for we know who it is that has said, "vengeance belongeth unto me, I will repay." and again, "the Lord shall revenge his people."

31 it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Call to remembrance the former times, in which after ye were illuminated, you were forc'd to struggle with sufferings,

33 some of you being expos'd to publick obloquy and persecution: whilst others had their share of affliction in seeing such treatment.

34 for you were passionately affected for those who were in bonds, and were pleas'd at the seizing of your goods, knowing that you have what is more excellent and lasting.

35 don't therefore quit that resolution you have, which will be attended with so great a reward.

36 for it is necessary you should persevere, that after having perform'd what God has commanded, you may receive what he has promised.

37 only wait but a little while, and he that is to come, will come without delay.

38 the just shall have life by trusting in me, but if he revolt, he will be the object of my displeasure.

39 as for us, we are not such as desert to their own destruction; but such as persevere in the faith, to the saving of our souls.
