Hebrews 10:31 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 10.

27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.

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 one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Remember the early days that you were in the light. In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering.

33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated.

34 You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.

35 So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.
