Hebrews 10:27

A Serious Warning Against Continuing Deliberate Sin

²⁶ For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate], ²⁷ but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and the fury of a fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries [those who put themselves in opposition to God]. ²⁸ Anyone who has ignored and set aside the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

By the fire of My zeal.
