Hebrews 3:15-16

Hebrews 3:15-16. While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke:

There are many such, and there are no sinners who provoke God so much as there who hear the gospel. A man who never hears the gospel at all may provoke God, but the man that sins after he has heard it again and again, and again, and has the sound of it ringing in his ears, provokes God with a sevenfold degree of provocation.
