“But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.”
King James Version (KJV)
10:25 Not forsaking the assembling ourselves - In public or private worship. As the manner of some is - Either through fear of persecution, or from a vain imagination that they were above external ordinances. But exhorting one another - To faith, love, and good works. And so much the more, as ye see the day approaching - The great day is ever in your eye.
10:26 For when we - Any of us Christians. Sin wilfully - By total apostasy from God, termed drawing back, #Heb 10:38|. After having received the experimental knowledge of the gospel truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins - None but that which we obstinately reject.
10:28 He that, in capital cases, despised (presumptuously transgressed) the law of Moses died without mercy - Without any delay or mitigation of his punishment.
10:29 Of how much sorer punishment is he worthy, who - By wilful, total apostasy. It does not appear that this passage refers to any other sin. Hath, as it were, trodden underfoot the Son of God - A lawgiver far more honourable than Moses. And counted the blood wherewith the better covenant was established, an unholy, a common, worthless thing. By which he hath been sanctified - Therefore Christ died for him also, and he was at least justified once. And done despite to the Spirit of grace - By rejecting all his motions.
Heb 10:27 But. There remains instead a Certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery judgment. Cut off from hope of salvation by rejecting Christ, one has only judgment and punishment to look forward to.
But a certaine fearefull looking for of iudgement, and fiery indignation, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
