Hebrews 10:19-39
The Full Assurance of Faith
19 aTherefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter bthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by athe new and living way that he opened for us through bthe curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have aa great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts asprinkled clean bfrom an evil conscience and our bodies cwashed with pure water. 23 aLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for bhe who promised is faithful. 24 And alet us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 anot neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and ball the more as you see cthe Day drawing near.
26 For aif we go on sinning deliberately bafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, cthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 abut a fearful expectation of judgment, and ba fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 aAnyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy bon the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one awho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned bthe blood of the covenant cby which he was sanctified, and has doutraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, a“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, b“The Lord will judge his people.” 31 aIt is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But recall the former days when, after ayou were enlightened, you endured ba hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being apublicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For ayou had compassion on those in prison, and byou joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had ca better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has aa great reward. 36 For ayou have need of endurance, so that bwhen you have done the will of God you may creceive what is promised. 37 For,
a“Yet a little while,
and bthe coming one will come and will not delay;
38 abut my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway,
