Hebrews 10
1 For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.
For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.
2 For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?
Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.
But in them is a reminder of sins each year.
4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me.
Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body.
6 In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.
In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased.
7 Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God.
Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God,
8 Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe)
saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law.
9 Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second.
Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second.
10 By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made.
By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ.
11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:
And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins.
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God,
But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.
waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet.
14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified.
15 For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,
And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling,
16 This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.
This is the covenant that I will ordain with them after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws on their hearts, and on their minds I will write them,
17 And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.
and, Their sins and their lawlessness I will, no, not further remember.
18 Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.
Now where there is remission of these, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place,
Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus,
20 By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:
which he inaugurated for us, a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh,
21 And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,
and a great priest over the house of God,
22 Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,
let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.
23 And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)
Let us hold firm the affirmation of the hope unwavering, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,
And let us examine each other for provocation of love and good works.
25 Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere.
Not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the habit of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as long as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,
For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and of fire, a fervor that is going to devour the opposition.
28 He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:
Any man who has disregarded the law of Moses dies without mercies from two or three witnesses.
29 Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?
By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously?
30 For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people.
For we know him who said, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people.
31 It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions,
But remember the former days, in which, after being enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings,
33 Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from.
partly made a spectacle, both by reviling and afflictions, and partly having become companions of those so treated.
34 For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance.
For ye were both compassionate about my bonds, and ye accepted with joy the plundering of your possessions, knowing yourselves to have a superior and an enduring existence in the heavens.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
Therefore do not throw off your boldness, which has great recompense of reward.
36 For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.
For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.
For yet a very little while, he who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38 Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
But the righteous man will live from faith, and if he should withdraw, my soul is not pleased with him.
39 But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.
But we are not of retreat for destruction, but of faith for the preservation of the soul.
