Hebrews 10:19-39

New King James Version

Hold Fast Your Confession

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, having ^(A)boldness^[a] to enter ^(B)the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and ^(C)living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, ²¹ and having a High Priest over the house of God, ²² let us ^(D)draw near with a true heart ^(E)in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^(F)He who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ^25 (G)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and ^(H)so much the more as you see ^(I)the Day approaching.

The Just Live by Faith

²⁶ For ^(J)if we sin willfully ^(K)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there ^(L)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and ^(M)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸ Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three ^(N)witnesses. ^29 (O)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, ^(P)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, ^(Q)and insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him who said, ^(R)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” ^[b]says the Lord. And again, ^(S)“The Lord will judge His people.” ^31 (T)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³² But ^(U)recall the former days in which, after you were ^[c]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: ³³ partly while you were made ^(V)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while ^(W)you became companions of those who were so treated; ³⁴ for you had compassion on ^[d]me ^(X)in my chains, and ^(Y)joyfully accepted the plundering of your ^[e]goods, knowing that ^(Z)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves ^[f]in heaven. ³⁵ Therefore do not cast away your confidence, ^(AA)which has great reward. ^36 (AB)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, ^(AC)you may receive the promise:

³⁹ But we are not of those ^(AG)who draw back to ^[j]perdition, but of those who ^(AH)believe to the saving of the soul.
