Hebrews 10
1 For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect;
For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.
2 Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?
Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
3 But, in them, is a recalling to mind of sins, year by year,
But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.
4 For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, —
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;
6 In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight:
In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
7 Then, said I—Lo! I am come, —in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, —to do, O God, thy will.
Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.
8 Higher up, saying—Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, —the which, according to the law, are offered,
Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),
9 Then, hath he said—Lo! I am come! to do, thy will: —he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish:
then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which never can clear away sins;
And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:
12 But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God:
but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 As for the rest, waiting—until his foes be made his footstool;
henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.
14 For, by one offering, hath he perfected for evermore, them who are being made holy.
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 But even the Holy Spirit beareth us witness; for, after having said—
And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,
16 This is the covenant which I will covenant unto them after these days, saith the Lord, —Giving my laws upon their hearts, upon their understandings also, will I inscribe them,
This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he],
17 [He] also [saith] —of their sins, and of their lawlessnesses, I will in nowise be mindful any more.
And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
18 But, wherever a remission of these is, there is, no further, offering, for sins.
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entrance through the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus,
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, 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 having a great priest over the house of God,
and [having] a great priest over the house of God;
22 Let us approach with a genuine heart, in full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled, as to our hearts, from an evil conscience, and bathed, as to our bodies, with pure water;
let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,
23 Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, —for, faithful, is he that hath promised;
let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
24 And let us attentively consider one another, to provoke unto love and noble works, —
and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, according to the custom of some, but exhorting, and by so much the more as this, by as much as ye behold, the day, drawing near.
not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.
26 For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full-knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 But some fearful reception of judgment and fiery jealousy, about to devour the opposers.
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
28 Any one having set aside a law of Moses, apart from compassions, upon [the testimony of] two or three witnesses, dieth:
A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who hath trampled underfoot the Son of God, and, the blood of the covenant, hath esteemed, a profane thing, by which he had been made holy, and, unto the Spirit of favour, hath offered wanton insult?
of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said—To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again—The Lord will judge his people.
For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 A fearful thing [it is] to fall into the hands of a Living God!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But be calling to mind the former days, in which, once ye were illuminated, a great combat of sufferings, ye endured; —
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;
33 Partly, indeed, because, both with reproaches and tribulations, ye were being made a spectacle, but, partly, because, into fellowship with them who were so involved, ye were brought; —
partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.
34 For, even with them who were in bonds, ye sympathised, and, unto the seizure of your goods, with joy, ye bade welcome, —knowing that ye have yourselves, for a better possession and an abiding.
For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.
35 Do not, then, cast away your freedom of speech, —the which hath a great recompense.
Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.
36 For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise.
For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;
For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
38 But, my righteous one, by faith, shall live, and, if he draw back, my soul delighteth not in him.
But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
39 We, however, are not of a drawing back unto destruction, but, of faith, unto an acquisition of life.
But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
