Hebrews 10:31
Compare all
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;  
34 for you had compassion on1 me ain my chains, and bjoyfully accepted the plundering of your2 goods, knowing that cyou have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves3 in heaven.  
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, awhich has great reward.  
36 aFor you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, byou may receive the promise: 
37 “For ayet a little while,
And bHe who is coming will come and will not2 tarry. 
38 Now athe just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”  
39 But we are not of those awho draw back to perdition, but of those who bbelieve to the saving of the soul.

Hebrews 10:31

A fearful thing (foberon). Old adjective (from fobew, to frighten). In N.T. only in Heb. (Hebrews 10:27, Hebrews 10:31; Hebrews 12:21). The sense is not to be explained away. The wrath of God faces wrongdoers.

To fall (to empesein). "The falling" (articular infinitive second aorist active of empiptw, to fall in, followed here by eiv). We are not dealing with a dead or an absentee God, but one who is alive and alert (Hebrews 3:12).
