28(E)Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29(F)How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve (G)who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean (H)the blood of the covenant (I)by which he was sanctified, and has (J)insulted the Spirit of grace?
How do you take this pericope?
It refers to those who professed faith in the crucified Christ, but who apostasised - thus trampling under foot the blood of the Son of God which they formerly professed had saved them from their sins.
