any other sacrifice for sins.
010:027 There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement,
and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies
of the truth.
010:028 Any one who bids defiance to the Law of Moses is put to death
without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
010:029 How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve
who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded
as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin,
and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?
010:030 For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs
to Me: I will pay back;" and again, "The Lord will be
His people's judge."
010:031 It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the ever-living God.
010:032 But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on
being first enlightened you went through a great conflict
and many sufferings.
010:033 This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made
a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions,
and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings
of those who were thus treated.
010:034 For you not only showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned,
but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken
from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves
a more valuable possession and one which will remain.
010:035 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it
will receive a vast reward.
010:036 For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that,
as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive
the promised blessing.
