Context: Hebrews 10
26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29Of 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?
30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Commentary
Hebrews 10 is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and perseverance in the Christian life. The author begins by reminding us of the inadequacy of the Old Testament sacrificial system, which could never truly take away sins. He then goes on to explain that Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all, and that it is through faith in Him that we can be saved.
