27 There is nothing but fear in waiting for the judgment and the terrible fire that will destroy all those who live against God.
28 Anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was found guilty from the proof given by two or three witnesses. He was put to death without mercy.
29 So what do you think should be done to those who do not respect the Son of God, who look at the blood of the agreement that made them holy as no different from others’ blood, who insult the Spirit of God’s grace? Surely they should have a much worse punishment.
30 We know that God said, “I will punish those who do wrong; I will repay them.” And he also said, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember those days in the past when you first learned the truth. You had a hard struggle with many sufferings, but you continued strong.
33 Sometimes you were hurt and attacked before crowds of people, and sometimes you shared with those who were being treated that way.
