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;
For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.
2 Otherwise not would they have ceased being offered because of none having any longer conscience of sins those serving once (cleansed! *N+KO)
For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers--who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all--would no longer be burdened with sins?
3 But in these [there is] a reminder of sins every year;
But in those sacrifices sins are recalled to memory year after year.
4 Impossible [it is] indeed [for the] blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away 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 comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering Thou has not desired, but a body Thou hast prepared for Me.
6 Burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin not You have delighted in;
In whole burnt-offerings and in sin-offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure.
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.
Then I said, 'I have come--in the roll of the book it is written concerning Me--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,
After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast not desired or taken pleasure in" --all such being offered in obedience to 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;
He then adds, "I have come to do Thy will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
10 By that will sanctified we are through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.
11 And every indeed priest has stood every day ministering and the same repeatedly offering sacrifices, which never are able to take away sins;
And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can never rid us of our sins--
12 (This [One] *N+kO) however one for sins having offered sacrifice in perpetuity sat down at [the] right hand of God,
this Priest, on the contrary, after offering for sins a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy, took His seat at God's right hand,
13 the henceforth awaiting until may be placed the enemies of Him [as] a footstool for the feet of Him.
waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a footstool under His feet.
14 By one for offering He has perfected for all time those being sanctified.
For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin.
15 Bears witness now to us also the Spirit Holy; after for (to have said: *N+KO)
And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said,
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 put My laws upon their hearts and will write 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.
He adds, "And their sins and offences I will remember no longer."
18 Where now forgiveness of these [is], no longer no longer an offering for sin.
But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required.
19 Having therefore, brothers, confidence for the entering to the Holy [Places] by the blood of Jesus,
Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place through 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 new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature--
21 and [having] a priest great over the house of God,
and since we have a great Priest who has authority 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 with sincerity and unfaltering faith, having had our hearts sprinkled, once for all, from consciences oppressed with sin, and our bodies bathed in pure water.
23 We may hold fast to the confession of [our] hope firmly, faithful for [is] the [One] having promised,
Let us hold firmly to an unflinching avowal of our hope, for He is faithful who gave us the promises.
24 And we may think one another toward stirring up to love and to good works
And let us bestow thought on one another with a view to arousing one another to brotherly love and right conduct;
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.
not neglecting--as some habitually do--to meet together, but encouraging one another, and doing this all the more since you can see the day of Christ approaching.
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,
For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.
27 terrifying however a certain expectation of judgment and of fire fury to devour being about the adversaries.
There remains nothing but a certain awful expectation of judgement, and the fury of a fire which before long will devour the enemies of the truth.
28 Having set aside anyone [the] law of Moses without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses he dies;
Any one who bids defiance to the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
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 severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?
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.
For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me: I will pay back;" and again, "The Lord will be His people's judge."
31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into [the] hands of God [the] living.
It is an awful thing to fall into the hands of the ever-living God.
32 do remember however the former days in which having been enlightened a great conflict you endured of sufferings,
But continually recall to mind the days now past, when on being first enlightened you went through a great conflict and many sufferings.
33 this indeed by revilings both and by tribulations being made a spectacle, this however partners of those thus passing through [them] having become;
This was partly through allowing yourselves to be made a public spectacle amid reproaches and persecutions, and partly through coming forward to share the sufferings of those who were thus treated.
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 showed sympathy with those who were imprisoned, but you even submitted with joy when your property was taken from you, being well aware that you have in your own selves a more valuable possession and one which will remain.
35 Not may throw away therefore the boldness of you, which has a great reward.
Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.
36 Of endurance for You have need, so that the will of God having done you may receive the promise.
For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.
37 Yet for A little very while, the [One] who is coming will come and not will delay.
For there is still but a short time and then "The coming One will come and will not 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.
But it is by faith that My righteous servant shall live; and if he shrinks back, My soul takes 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 are not people who shrink back and perish, but are among those who believe and gain possession of their souls.
