Hebrews 10:29 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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?

Rejecting Jesus after knowing the truth hits different, and the consequences are serious.
