Hebrews 10
1 A shadow for having the law of the coming good things, not themselves the form of the things, each year with the same sacrifices which they offer to the continuous never (is able *NK+o) those drawing near to perfect;
The Law, though able to foreshadow the Better System which was coming, never had its actual substance. Its priests, with those sacrifices which they offer continuously year after year, can never make those who come to worship perfect.
2 Otherwise not would they have ceased being offered because of none having any longer conscience of sins those serving once (cleansed! *N+KO)
Otherwise, would not the offering of these sacrifices have been abandoned, as the worshipers, having been once purified, would have had their consciences clear from sins?
3 But in these [there is] a reminder of sins every year;
But, on the contrary, these sacrifices recall their sins to mind year after year.
4 Impossible [it is] indeed [for the] blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins.
For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to remove sins.
5 Therefore coming into the world He says: Sacrifice and offering not You have desired, a body however You have prepared me;
That is why, when he was coming into the world, the Christ declared — ‘Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire, but thou dost provide for me a body;
6 Burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin not You have delighted in;
Thou dost take no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7 Then I said; Behold I have come — in [the] scroll of [the] book it has been written of Me — to do, O God, the will of You.
So I said, “See, I have come’ (as is written of me in the pages of the Book), “To do thy will, O God.”’
8 Above saying that (sacrifices *N+KO) and (offerings *N+KO) and burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin not You have desired nor You delighted in, which according to (the *k) Law are offered,
First come the words — ‘Thou dost not desire, nor dost thou take pleasure in, sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices for sin’ (offerings regularly made under the Law),
9 then He has said; Behold I have come to do (of the God *K) the will of You. He takes away the first that the second He may establish;
and then there is added — ‘See, I have come to do thy will.’ The former sacrifices are set aside to be replaced by the latter.
10 By that will sanctified we are through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
And it is in the fulfilment of the will of God that we have been purified by the sacrifice, once and for all, of the body of Jesus Christ.
11 And every indeed priest has stood every day ministering and the same repeatedly offering sacrifices, which never are able to take away sins;
Every other priest stands day after day at his ministrations, and offers the same sacrifices over and over again — sacrifices that can never take sins away.
12 (This [One] *N+kO) however one for sins having offered sacrifice in perpetuity sat down at [the] right hand of God,
But, this priest, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, which should serve for all time, ‘took his seat at the right hand of God,’
13 the henceforth awaiting until may be placed the enemies of Him [as] a footstool for the feet of Him.
and has since then been waiting ‘for his enemies to be put as a stool for his feet.’
14 By one for offering He has perfected for all time those being sanctified.
By a single offering he has made perfect for all time those who are being purified.
15 Bears witness now to us also the Spirit Holy; after for (to have said: *N+KO)
We have also the testimony of the Holy Spirit. For, after saying —
16 This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after the days those, says [the] Lord, putting [the] laws of Mine into [the] hearts of them and into (the mind *N+kO) of them I will inscribe them;
‘“This is the Covenant that I will make with them After those days,” says the Lord; “I will impress my laws on their hearts, And will inscribe them on their minds,”’
17 and The sins of them and the lawless acts of them certainly not (will I remember *N+kO) any more.
then we have — ‘And their sins and their iniquities I will no longer remember.’
18 Where now forgiveness of these [is], no longer no longer an offering for sin.
And, when these are forgiven, there is no further need of an offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, confidence for the entering to the Holy [Places] by the blood of Jesus,
Therefore, Brothers, since we may enter the Sanctuary with confidence, in virtue of the blood of Jesus,
20 which He dedicated for us a way new and living through the veil, That is through the flesh of Him,
by the way which he inaugurated for us — a new and living way, a way through the Sanctuary Curtain (that is, his human nature);
21 and [having] a priest great over the house of God,
and, since we have in him ‘a great priest set over the House of God,’
22 we may draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith sprinkled clean [our] hearts from a conscience evil and (having ourselves washed *N+kO) [our] body with water pure.
let us draw near to God in all sincerity of heart and in perfect faith, with our hearts purified by the sprinkled blood from all consciousness of wrong, and with our bodies washed with pure water.
23 We may hold fast to the confession of [our] hope firmly, faithful for [is] the [One] having promised,
Let us maintain the confession of our hope unshaken, for he who has given us his promise will not fail us.
24 And we may think one another toward stirring up to love and to good works
Let us vie with one another in a rivalry of love and noble actions.
25 not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves even as [is the] custom with some, but encouraging [one another], and so much more as much as you see drawing near the Day.
And let us not, as some do, cease to meet together; but, on the contrary, let us encourage one another, and all the more, now that you see the Day drawing near.
26 [If] willingly for sin we after [we are] to receive the knowledge of the truth no longer no longer for sins remains a sacrifice,
Remember, if we sin wilfully after we have gained a full knowledge of the Truth, there can be no further sacrifice for sin;
27 terrifying however a certain expectation of judgment and of fire fury to devour being about the adversaries.
there is only a fearful anticipation of judgment, and a burning indignation which will destroy all opponents.
28 Having set aside anyone [the] law of Moses without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses he dies;
When a man disregarded the Law of Moses, he was, on the evidence of two or three witnesses, put to death without pity.
29 How much think you worse will he deserve punishment the [one] the Son of God having trampled upon and the blood of the covenant ordinary having esteemed by which he was sanctified and the Spirit of grace having insulted?
How much worse then, think you, will be the punishment deserved by those who have trampled underfoot the Son of God, who have treated the blood that rendered the Covenant valid — the very blood by which they were purified — as of no account, and who have outraged the Spirit of Love?
30 We know for the [One] having said; Mine [is] vengeance, I myself will repay (says Lord; *K) and again: Will judge [the] Lord the people of Him.
We know who it was that said — ‘It is for me to avenge, I will requite’; and again — ‘The Lord will judge his people.’
31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into [the] hands of God [the] living.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
32 do remember however the former days in which having been enlightened a great conflict you endured of sufferings,
Call to mind those early days in which, after you had received the Light, you patiently underwent a long and painful conflict.
33 this indeed by revilings both and by tribulations being made a spectacle, this however partners of those thus passing through [them] having become;
Sometimes, in consequence of the taunts and injuries heaped upon you, you became a public spectacle; and sometimes you suffered through having shown yourselves to be the friends of men who were in the very position in which you had been.
34 Both for with the (prisoners *N+KO) you sympathized and the plundering of the possessions of you with joy you accepted knowing to have (in *k) (yourselves *N+kO) (a better *NK+o) possession (in heavens *K) and abiding.
For you not only sympathised with those who were in prison, but you even took the confiscation of your possessions joyfully, knowing, as you did, that you had in yourselves a greater possession and a lasting one.
35 Not may throw away therefore the boldness of you, which has a great reward.
Do not, therefore, abandon the confidence that you have gained, for it has a great reward awaiting it.
36 Of endurance for You have need, so that the will of God having done you may receive the promise.
You still have need of patient endurance, in order that, when you have done God’s will, you may obtain the fulfilment of his promise.
37 Yet for A little very while, the [One] who is coming will come and not will delay.
‘For there is indeed but a very little while Ere He who is coming will have come, without delay;
38 The one however righteous (of Mine *NO) by faith will live; and if he shall shrink back, not takes pleasure the soul of Mine in him.
And through faith the Righteous man shall find his Life, But, if a man draws back, my heart can find no pleasure in him.’
39 We ourselves however not are of [those] drawing back to destruction but of faith to [the] preserving [of the] soul.
But we do not belong to those who draw back, to their Ruin, but to those who have faith, to the saving of their souls.
