    • 10:29

      a person . . . who has trampled on the Son of God: In this verse, Paul uses three vivid word pictures to show why those who “practice sin willfully”​—that is, those who sin against God’s spirit​—are guilty of the ultimate transgression and deserve God’s severest punishment. (Heb 10:26 and study note) In this first word picture, “trampled on the Son of God,” Paul uses a verb that means “treat contemptuously, despise, show disdain for,” particularly with reference to something precious. (Compare 2Ki 9:33; Isa 14:19; 63:18; Mic 7:10; Mt 7:6.) Such people show by their actions that they regard Jesus with utter contempt. They have lost all appreciation for the priceless benefits that result from Jesus’ death on the torture stake.​—Compare Heb 6:4-6 and study notes on verses 4 and 6.

      who has regarded as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant: The shed blood of Jesus validated the new covenant and sanctified those in that covenant, setting them apart as cleansed from sin. Yet, the ungrateful, willful sinner mentioned at Heb 10:26 (see study note) had faithlessly abandoned that covenant. As the second word picture in this verse describes, such a sinner shows that he views Christ’s precious blood as something ordinary, or common, not sacred. In fact, the same Greek term here rendered “of ordinary value” is even used of things viewed as “unclean” or “defiled.”​—Ro 14:14; Re 21:27.

      who has outraged the spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt: The last expression in this verse, “outraged . . . with contempt,” describes how the unrepentant, willful sinner arrogantly insults God’s holy spirit through which Jehovah shows his generous love and kindness. (See Glossary, “Undeserved kindness.”) Such a sinner contemptuously opposes Jehovah by going contrary to the operation of His spirit and righteous laws.​—Heb 10:26 and study note; Jude 4.
