Hebrews 10:26-31 "For if
we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of
the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28. He that despised
Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29. Of how
much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath
trodden under foot the Son of God (Melchisedec), and hath counted the
blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy [common,
unclean] thing, and hath done despite [abuse, insult] unto the
Spirit of grace [power of Christ]? 30. For we know him that hath
said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31. It is a
fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

fire."

forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."

teeth."

we persuade men; . . ."
