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 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.
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?
Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.
But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should 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, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
6 In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.
You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
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 have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your 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)
Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those 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 has said, “Behold, I have come to do 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.
by 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:
Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, 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 he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.
from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
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, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
17 And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.
“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18 Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.
Now where remission of these is, 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 to enter into the holy place 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:
by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,
and having a great priest over God’s house,
22 Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,
let’s 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,
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’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,
Let’s consider how to provoke one another to 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 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.
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 sin wilfully after we have received 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 judgement, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:
A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word 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?
How much worse punishment do you think he will 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?
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 belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. 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 you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with 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, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
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 both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
36 For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.
For you need endurance so 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.
“In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
38 Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks 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 who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
