Hebrews 10:29

Hebrews 10:29

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.”

31 ^aIt is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But ^arecall the former days in which, after you were¹ illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

33 partly while you were made ^aa spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while ^byou became companions of those who were so treated;

<< Hebrews 10:28

Hebrews 10:30 >>

How much (posw). Instrumental case of degree or measure. An argument from the less to the greater, "the first of Hillel's seven rules for exegesis" (Moffatt).

Think ye (dokeite). An appeal to their own sense of justice about apostates from Christ.

Sorer (xeironov). "Worse," comparative of kakov (bad).

Punishment (timwriav). Genitive case with aciwqhsetai (first future passive of aciow, to deem worthy). The word timwria originally meant vengeance. Old word, in LXX, only here in N.T.

Who hath trodden under foot the Son of God (o ton uion tou qeou katapathsav). First aorist active articular participle of katapatew, old verb (Matthew 5:13) for scornful neglect like Zechariah 12:3. See same idea in Hebrews 6:6.

Wherewith he was sanctified (en w hgiasqh). First aorist passive indicative of agiazw. It is an unspeakable tragedy that should warn every follower of Christ not to play with treachery to Christ (cf. Hebrews 6:4-8).

An unholy thing (koinon). Common in the sense of uncleanness as Peter used it in Acts 10:14. Think of one who thus despises "the blood of Christ wherewith he was sanctified." And yet there are a few today who sneer at the blood of Christ and the gospel based on his atoning sacrifice as "a slaughter house" religion!

Hath done despite (enubrisav). First aorist active participle of enubrizw, old verb to treat with contumely, to give insult to, here only in the N.T. It is a powerful word for insulting the Holy Spirit after receiving his blessings (Hebrews 6:4).
