Hebrews 10
1 For the Law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, make a perfect expiation for those who come to them:
2 Or else would not they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
for then, would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, after being once cleansed, would no longer have a consciousness of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins.
There is, however, in these sacrifices, a remembrance of sins every year.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.
Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;
6 Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no pleasure in.
in whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, 'Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book; to do your will, God.'"
Then, said I, Behold, I come, (in the roll of the book it is written of me, ) to do thy will, O God.
8 Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire, nor took pleasure in" (which are offered according to the Law),
After saying above, Thou didst neither desire, nor take pleasure in sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, which are offered according to the law,
9 then he said, "Look, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
then he said, Behold, I come to do thy will: he takes away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus (the) Messiah once for all.
By which will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 but this one, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
but after offering one sacrifice for sins, he himself sits continually at the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
henceforth waiting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
For by one offering, he has made a perfect and perpetual expiation for the sanctified.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
And, indeed, the Holy Spirit is a witness for us. For after he had said before,
16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their hearts, I will also write them on their minds.'"
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; putting my laws in their hearts, I will also write them in their understandings:
17 "And I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."
he adds, And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
18 Now where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Now, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
Having therefore, brethren, confidence to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the curtain, that is to say, his flesh;
by a new and living way which he has dedicated for us, through the vail, that is, his flesh;
21 and having a great priest over the house of God,
and having a great high, priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,
let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having; our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water;
23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
let us hold fast the unwavering confession of our hope, for he is faithful who has promised;
24 Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and good works,
and let us consider one another that we may excite to love and good works,
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some; but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
For if we sin willfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer a sacrifice for sins;
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and a fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
28 Anyone who disregards the Law of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
He that despised Moses law, died without mercy, on the testimony of two or three witnesses:
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
of how much severer punishment do you think he shall be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."
For we know him who has said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;
But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;
33 partly, being exposed to insults and abuse in public, and sometimes you came to share with others who were treated in the same way.
partly, while you became a public spectacle, by reproaches and afflictions: partly, while you became partakers with those who were so treated.
34 For you both had compassion on them that were in chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an enduring one.
For you sympathized with me in my bonds, and endured joyfully the seizure of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and abiding substance in the heavens.
35 Therefore do not throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which has a great reward.
36 For you need patient endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 "For in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.
For yet a very, very little while, and He that comes will come, and will not delay.
38 But the righteous will live by faith, and if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him."
But the just by faith shall live; and if he draw back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
But we are not of those who draw back to perdition; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
