29. How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour?
30. For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה shall judge His people.”
31. It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
32. But remember the former days, when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings.
33. On the one hand you were exposed to reproaches and pressures, and on the other hand you became sharers with those who were so treated,
34. for you sympathised with me in my chains, and you accepted with joy the seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have a better and a lasting possession for yourselves in the heavens.
