Hebrews 10:27

25 ^anot forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and ^bso much the more as you see ^cthe Day approaching.

The Just Live by Faith

26 For ^aif we sin willfully ^bafter we have received the knowledge of the truth, there ^cno longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and ^afiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three ^awitnesses.

29 ^aOf how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, ^bcounted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, ^cand insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know Him who said, ^a“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,”¹ says the Lord. And again, ^b“The Lord will judge His people.”

Hebrews 10:27

a certain—an extraordinary and indescribable. The indefiniteness, as of something peculiar of its kind, makes the description the more terrible (compare Greek, James 1:18).

looking for—"expectation": a later sense of the Greek. ALFORD strangely translates, as the Greek usually means elsewhere, "reception." The transition is easy from "giving a reception to" something or someone, to "looking for." Contrast the "expecting" (the very same Greek as here), Hebrews 10:13, which refutes ALFORD.

fiery indignation—literally, "zeal of fire." Fire is personified: glow or ardor of fire, that is, of Him who is "a consuming fire."

devour—continually.
