The Just Live by Faith

26 For (A)if we sin willfully (B)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (C)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (D)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (E)witnesses. 29 (F)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (G)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (H)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (I)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, (J)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (K)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

  1. Hebrews 10:30 NU omits says the Lord

26 εκουσιως γαρ αμαρτανοντων ημων μετα το λαβειν την επιγνωσιν της αληθειας ουκετι περι αμαρτιων απολειπεται θυσια

27 φοβερα δε τις εκδοχη κρισεως και πυρος ζηλος εσθιειν μελλοντος τους υπεναντιους

28 αθετησας τις νομον μωσεως χωρις οικτιρμων επι δυσιν η τρισιν μαρτυσιν αποθνησκει

29 ποσω δοκειτε χειρονος αξιωθησεται τιμωριας ο τον υιον του θεου καταπατησας και το αιμα της διαθηκης κοινον ηγησαμενος εν ω ηγιασθη και το πνευμα της χαριτος ενυβρισας

30 οιδαμεν γαρ τον ειποντα εμοι εκδικησις εγω ανταποδωσω λεγει κυριος και παλιν κυριος κρινει τον λαον αυτου

31 φοβερον το εμπεσειν εις χειρας θεου ζωντος

Christ or Judgment

26 For if we go on (A)sinning willfully after receiving (B)the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of (C)judgment and (D)the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 28 (E)Anyone who has ignored the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 (F)How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve (G)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean (H)the blood of the covenant (I)by which he was sanctified, and has (J)insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “(K)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “(L)The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a (M)terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the (N)living God.

26 For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,

27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;

28 any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,

29 of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

30 for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance [is] Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' --

31 fearful [is] the falling into the hands of a living God.
