Hebrews:10:19-39

*
Having therefore ,
brothers ,
boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus ,
*
by the way which he dedicated for us ,
a new and living way ,
through the veil ,
that is to say ,
his flesh ;
*
and having a great priest over God '
s house ,
*
let '
s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith ,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience ,
and having our body washed with pure water ,
*
let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering ;
for he who promised is faithful .
*
Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works ,
*
not forsaking our own assembling 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 we have received the knowledge of the truth ,
there remains no more a sacrifice for sins ,
*
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment ,
and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries .
*
A man who disregards Moses '
law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses .
*
How much worse punishment ,
do you think ,
will he be judged worthy of ,
who has trodden under foot the Son of God ,
and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing ,
and has insulted the Spirit of grace ?
*
For we know him who said , "
Vengeance belongs to me ,"
says the Lord , "
I will repay ." {
Deuteronomy strkjv @
32:35 }
Again , "
The Lord will judge his people ." {
Deuteronomy strkjv @
32:36 ;
Psalm strkjv @
135:14 }
*
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God .
*
But remember the former days ,
in which ,
after you were enlightened ,
you endured a great struggle with sufferings ;
*
partly ,
being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions ;
and partly ,
becoming partakers with those who were treated so .
*
For you both had compassion on me in my chains ,
and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions ,
knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens .
*
Therefore don '
t throw away your boldness ,
which has a great reward .
*
For you need endurance so that ,
having done the will of God ,
you may receive the promise .
* "
In a very little while ,
he who comes will come ,
and will not wait .
*
But the righteous will live by faith .
If he shrinks back ,
my soul has no pleasure in him ." {
Habakkuk strkjv @
2:3-4 }
*
But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction ,
but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul .
