* Having , therefore , brethren , free access to the most holy place , by the blood of Jesus - * a new and living way , which he has consecrated for us through the vail , (that is , his flesh ,) * and-a great High Priest over the house of God , * let us draw near , with a true heart , in full assurance of faith-having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience , and our bodies washed with pure water , * let us hold fast the confession of the hope unmoved ; for he is faithful , who has promised . * And let us attentively consider one another , to excite to love and good works ; * not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together , as the custom of some is , but exhorting one another , and so much the more , as you see the day approaching . * For if we sin willfully , after having received the knowledge of the truth , there remains no more sacrifice for sins ; * but a dreadful expectation of judgment , and of a fiery indignation , which shall devour the adversaries . * Any one who disregarded the law of Moses , died without mercy , by two or three witnesses . * Of how much sorer punishment , think you , shall he be counted worthy , who has trampled under foot the Son of God , and reckoned the blood of the institution by which he was sanctified , a common thing , and has insulted the Spirit of Favor ? * «For we know him who has said ,'Vengeance belongs to me ; I will repay , says the Lord ': and again ,» 'The Lord will judge his people .' * It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God . * But to call to remembrance the former days , in which , after you were enlightened , you sustained a great combat of afflictions ; * partly , indeed , whilst you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions ; and partly , whilst you became companions of them who were so treated . * For you also suffered with me in my bonds , and with joy sustained the spoiling of your goods , knowing within yourselves , that you have in heaven a better and a permanent substance . * Wherefore , cast not away your confidence , which has a great retribution . * For you must persevere in doing the will of God , that you may obtain the promised reward . * For yet a very little while , and He who is coming , will come , and will not tarry . * Now , the just by faith shall live ; but if he draw , my soul will not be well pleased with him . * We , however , are not of those who apostatize to perdition ; but of those who persevere to the salvation of the soul .
