Wycliffe(i)
25 as it is of custom to sum men, but coumfortinge, and bi so myche the more, bi hou myche ye seen the dai neiyynge.
26 Forwhi now a sacrifice for synnes is not left to vs, that synnen wilfuli, aftir that we han take the knowyng of treuthe.
27 Forwhi sum abiding of the dom is dreedful, and the suyng of fier, which schal waste aduersaries.
28 Who that brekith Moises lawe, dieth withouten ony merci, bi tweine or thre witnessis;
29 hou myche more gessen ye, that he disserueth worse turmentis, which defouleth the sone of God, and holdith the blood of the testament pollut, in which he is halewid, and doith dispit to the spirit of grace?
30 For we knowen him that seide, To me veniaunce, and Y schal yelde. And eft, For the Lord schal deme his puple.
31 It is ferdful to falle in to the hondis of God lyuynge.
32 And haue ye mynde on the formere daies, in which ye weren liytned, and suffriden greet strijf of passiouns.
33 And in the `tothir ye weren maad a spectacle bi schenschipis and tribulaciouns; in an othir ye weren maad felowis of men lyuynge so.
34 For also to boundun men ye hadden compassioun, and ye resseyueden with ioye the robbyng of youre goodis, knowinge that ye han a betere and a dwellinge substaunce.
35 Therfor nyle ye leese youre trist, which hath greet rewarding.
36 For pacience is nedeful to you, that ye do the wille of God, and bringe ayen the biheest.
37 For yit a litil, and he that is to comynge schal come, and he schal not tarie.
