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 coming—not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
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?
since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having been purified once?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.
But in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,
4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.
for it is impossible for 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.
For this reason, coming into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not will, and a body You prepared for Me;
6 In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.
in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, You did not delight.
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, Behold, I come (in a volume of the scroll it has been written concerning Me), to do, O God, Your will”;
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 burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering You did not will, nor delight in” (which 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, “Behold, I come to do, O God, Your will”; He takes away the first 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.
in which will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all,
11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:
and every priest, indeed, has daily stood serving, and offering the same sacrifices many times, that are never able to 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 He, having offered one sacrifice for sin—to the end, sat down at the right hand of God—
13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.
as to the rest, expecting until He may place His enemies [as] His footstool,
14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
for by one offering He has perfected to the end 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, for after that He has said before,
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 make with them after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,”
17 And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.
and, “I will remember their sins and their lawlessness no more”;
18 Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.
and where [there is] forgiveness of these, there is no longer 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 the entrance into the holy places, 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 [is] the way He initiated for us—new and living, through the veil, 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,
may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with 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)
may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope (for He who promised [is] faithful),
24 And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,
and may we consider to provoke one another to love and to 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 of ourselves together, as [is] a custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as you see the Day coming near.
26 For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,
For [if] we are sinning willingly after receiving the full knowledge of the truth—there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
28 He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:
anyone having set aside a law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of 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?
Of how much worse punishment will he be counted worthy who trampled on the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant a common thing, by which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
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 have known Him who is saying, “Vengeance [is] Mine, 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] fearful 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 call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you endured much conflict 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.
this indeed, being made spectacles with both insults and afflictions, now this, having become partners of those so living,
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 you also sympathized with my bonds, and the robbery of your goods you received with joy, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great repayment of reward,
36 For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.
for you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.
“For yet [in] a very, very little [while], He who is coming will come, and will not linger,”
38 Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
but, “The righteous will live by faith; and if he may draw back, My soul has no pleasure in 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 those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
