That person looks at the blood of the promise (the blood that made him holy) as no different from other people's blood, and he insults the Spirit that God gave us out of his kindness. He deserves a much worse punishment. <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>We know the God who said, "I alone have the right to take revenge. I will pay back." God also said, "The Lord will judge his people." <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Falling into the hands of the living God is a terrifying thing.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Remember the past, when you first learned the truth. You endured a lot of hardship and pain. <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>At times you were publicly insulted and mistreated. At times you associated with people who were treated this way. <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>You suffered with prisoners. You were cheerful even though your possessions were stolen, since you know that you have a better and more permanent possession. <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>So don't lose your confidence. It will bring you a great reward. <span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>You need endurance so that after you have done what God wants you to do, you can receive what he has promised.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>"Yet, the one who is coming will come soon.
