25 not forsakynge the felishyppe that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another, & so moch the more, because ye se that the daye draweth nye.
26 For yf we synne wyllfully after that we haue receaued the knowledge of the trueth, ther remayneth nomore sacryfyce for synnes,
27 but a fearfull lokyng for iudgement, & violent fyre, whych shall deuoure the aduersaries.
28 He that despiseth Moses lawe, dyeth wythout mercy vnder two or thre witnesses:
29 how moch sorer (suppose ye) shall he be ponisshed which treadeth vnder fote the sonne of God: & counteth the bloude of the testament, wherwith he was sanctifyed, as an vnholy thyng, & doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace.
30 For we knowe hym that hath sayd: It belongeth vnto me to take vengeaunce. I wyll recompence sayth the Lord. And agayne: the Lord shal iudge his people.
31 It is a fearfull thynge to fall into the handes of the lyuyng God.
32 Call to remembraunce the dayes that are passed, in the whych after ye had receaued lyght, ye endured a greate fyght of aduersities,
33 partly whyle all men wondred & gased at you for the shame and tribulacyon on that was done vnto you: partly, whyle ye became companyons of them which so passed their tyme.
34 For ye became parttakers also of the afflyccyons whych happened thorow my bondes, & toke in worth the spoylyng of your goodes, & that wyth gladnes: knowynge in your selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduring substaunce.
35 Cast not awaye therfore your confydence, whych hath a great recompence of rewarde.
36 For ye haue nede of pacyence, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promes.
37 For yet a very lytell whyle, & he that shall come wyll come, & wyll not tary.
