Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

10:28 two or three witnesses. This refers in particular to Deuteronomy 17:6.


10:29 despite unto the Spirit. These descriptions of the willful sin (Hebrews 10:26) make it clear that it is the unforgivable sin of willful, knowledgeable apostasy from the faith.


10:30 hath said. The first reference quoted in this verse is from Deuteronomy 32:35, the second from Deuteronomy 32:36. See also Romans 12:19.


10:31 living God. There are sixteen references to “the living God” in the New Testament, an appropriate corollary to the fact that eight seems commonly associated with life, especially life after death, or eternal life.
