29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith HE WAS SANCTIFIED, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people"
Is the above scripture for believers or not believers? Verse 29, "HE WAS SANCTIFIED". so it is for believers. The text says that if one who was once saved sins willfully (the greek text here implies a continuous action, not just do a sin/s, but live in sins, live a sinful life) then damnation is the result. People who were once saved when they go back to their previous sinful life and enjoy sinning without feeling any guilt, is like they step on Jesus, like they consider His sacrifice as nothing really, like they stand with pride against the H.S. and His work of sanctification. For these people there is no other sacrifice left to call on. It doesn't say that there is no salvation for them but it says no other sacrifice (since they don't value and ask for Jesus' Blood there isn't any other sacrifice left for them to ask for) So if they never awake from their spiritual sleep and go back (like the prodigal son did) then the Hell is the end of the road for them.
In the following verse 32-34, Paul encourages believers to keep going their way no matter the tribulations they suffer due to their faith to Jesus, because they must complete their road, if not, salvation will not be granted to them. And now we come to verse 39, "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul"
So the proper interpretation of it, according to my belief is, "But we are not of those who go back to their previous sinful lives and get destruction at the end, but of those who keep on their faith and at the end get the promise of salvation"
