but He, having offered one sacrifice ^(C1)for ^(F1)sins ^(C2)for all time, ^(C3)SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

For by one offering He has ^(C1)perfected ^(C2)for all time those who are ^(F1)sanctified.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we ^(C1)have confidence to ^(C2)enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

by ^(C1)a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^(C2)the veil, that is, through His flesh,

and since we have ^(C1)a great priest ^(C2)over the house of God,

let's ^(C1)approach God with a ^(F1)sincere heart in ^(C2)full assurance of faith, having our hearts ^(C3)sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies ^(C4)washed with pure water.

Let's hold firmly to the ^(C1)confession of our ^(C2)hope without wavering, for ^(C3)He who promised is faithful;

and let's consider how ^(C1)to ^(F1)encourage one another in love and ^(C2)good deeds,

not abandoning our own ^(C1)meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but ^(C2)encouraging one another; and all the more as you see ^(C3)the day drawing near.

For if we go on ^(C1)sinning willfully after receiving ^(C2)the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

but a terrifying expectation of ^(C1)judgment and ^(C2)THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

^(C1)Anyone who has ignored the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

^(C1)How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve ^(C2)who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean ^(C3)the blood of the covenant ^(C4)by which he was sanctified, and has ^(C5)insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him who said, "^(C1)VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "^(C2)THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."

It is a ^(C1)terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^(C2)living God.
