28A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses:
29But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?
30For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.
31We may well go in fear of falling into the hands of the living God.
32But give thought to the days after you had seen the light, when you went through a great war of troubles;
33In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.
34For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.
