Hbr 10:26 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, Hbr 10:27 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries. Hbr 10:28 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) A man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses. Hbr 10:29 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) How much worse punishment do you think will be deserved by the man who has spurned the Son of God, and profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and outraged the Spirit of grace? Hbr 10:30 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." Hbr 10:31 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.Who are His own people? Those who are saved. Not only will God judge the heathens (at great white throne after the 1000 years), He will also judge Christians. Why does God judge us Christians (at judgment seat before the 1000 years)?
Hbr 10:32 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, Hbr 10:33 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. Hbr 10:34 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Hbr 10:35 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. Hbr 10:36 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised. Hbr 10:37 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry; Hbr 10:38 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him." Hbr 10:39 (http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Hbr&chapter=10&translation=rsv&x=12&y=6#) But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.There is a reward for those God judges who keep the word of His patience.
