*
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works ,
*
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together ,
as is the manner of some ,
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 no longer remains a sacrifice for sins ,
*
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment ,
and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries .
*
Anyone who has rejected Moses '
law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses .
*
Of how much worse punishment ,
do you suppose ,
will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot ,
counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing ,
and insulted the Spirit of grace ?
*
For we know Him who said , "
Vengeance is Mine ,
I will repay ,"
says the Lord .
And again , "
The LORD will judge His people ."
*
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God .
*
But recall the former days in which ,
after you were illuminated ,
you endured a great struggle with sufferings :
*
partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations ,
and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated ;
*
for you had compassion on me in my chains ,
and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods ,
knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven .
*
Therefore do not cast away your confidence ,
which has great reward .
*
For you have need of endurance ,
so that after you have done the will of God ,
you may receive the promise :
* "
For yet a little while ,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry .
*
Now the just shall live by faith ;
But if anyone draws back ,
My soul has no pleasure in him ."
*
But we are not of those who draw back to perdition ,
but of those who believe to the saving of the soul .
