勸勉和警告
19 所以，弟兄們！我們憑着耶穌的血，可以坦然無懼地進入至聖所。
20 這進入的路，是他給我們開闢的，是一條通過幔子、又新又活的路，這幔子就是他的身體。
21 我們既然有一位偉大的祭司治理　神的家，
22 我們良心的邪惡既然被灑淨，身體也用清水洗淨了，那麼，我們就應該懷着真誠的心和完備的信，進到　神面前；
23 又應該堅持我們所宣認的盼望，毫不動搖，因為那應許我們的是信實的。
24 我們又應該彼此關心，激發愛心，勉勵行善。
25 我們不可放棄聚會，好像有些人的習慣一樣；卻要互相勸勉。你們既然知道那日子臨近，就更應該這樣。
26 如果我們領受了真理的知識以後，還是故意犯罪，就再沒有留下贖罪的祭品了；
27 只好恐懼地等待着審判，和那快要吞滅眾仇敵的烈火。
28 如果有人干犯了摩西的律法，憑着兩三個證人，他尚且得不到憐憫而死；
29 何況是踐踏　神的兒子，把那使他成聖的立約的血當作俗物，又侮辱施恩的聖靈的人，你們想想，他不是應該受更嚴厲的刑罰嗎？
30 因為我們知道誰說過：“伸冤在我，我必報應。”又說：“主必定審判他自己的子民。”
31 落在永活的　神手裡，真是可怕的。

要忍耐行完　神的旨意
32 你們要回想從前的日子，那時，你們蒙了光照，忍受了許多痛苦的煎熬；
33 有時在眾人面前被辱罵，遭患難；有時卻成了遭遇同樣情形的人的同伴。
34 你們同情那些遭監禁的人；你們的家業被搶奪的時候，又以喜樂的心接受，因為知道自己有更美長存的家業。
35 所以，你們不可丟棄坦然無懼的心，這樣的心是帶有大賞賜的。
36 你們還需要忍耐，好使你們行完了　神的旨意，可以領受所應許的。
37 因為：“還有一點點的時候，那要來的就來，並不遲延。
38 我的義人必因信得生，如果他後退，我的心就不喜悅他。”
39 但我們不是那些後退以致滅亡的人，而是有信心以致保全生命的人。

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,
27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."
31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering.
33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37 For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
