Hebrews 10:28-38

28 1Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 2How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve 3who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean 4the blood of the covenant 5by which he was sanctified, and has 6insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know Him who said, "7VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "8THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."
31 It is a 9terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the 10living God.
32 But remember 11the former days, when *, after being 12enlightened, you endured a great 13conflict of sufferings,
33 partly by being 14made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming 15sharers with those who were so treated.
34 For you 16showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted 17joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves 18a better possession and a lasting one.
35 Therefore, do not throw away your 19confidence, which has a great 20reward.
36 For you have need of 21endurance, so that when you have 22done the will of God, you may 23receive what was promised.
37 24FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, 25HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
38 26BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
