Chapter Twenty-Two

Warning – Do Not Despise Gods Word

Hebrews 10:26-39: 26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the

knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a

certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour

the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or

three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be

thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted

the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and

hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said,

Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The

Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the

living God. 32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were

illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 33Partly, whilst ye were made

a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became

companions of them that were so used. 34For ye had compassion of me in my

bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that

ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35Cast not away therefore

your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36For ye have need of

patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have

no pleasure in him. 39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but

of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
