10:29 This argument, from the law as the lesser to the gospel as the greater, is also found in 2:2, 3. If contemptuous violation of the law given through Moses the servant (3:5) warranted the punishment of death, then scorn for the Son of God (1:2, 3; 3:6; 6:6; 2 Pet. 2:1), His sacrificial blood (9:20; cf. Ex. 24:8; Mark 14:24), and the Spirit of grace through whom He offered Himself (9:14) deserves nothing less than “a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries” (v. 27).
