How much more
severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled
the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood
of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of
grace? For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"
and again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a dreadful thing to
fall into the hands of the living God.
It is a dreadful thing
2 Corinthians 5:11 Since then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.
to fall into the hands
Isaiah 19:16 In that day the Egyptians will become weaklings. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them.
of the living God
Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." (Deuteronomy 4:24)
