Hebrews 10:25-27
New English Translation
25 not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day[a] drawing near.[b]
26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,[c] 27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury[d] of fire that will consume God’s enemies.[e]
