Chapter 10 (CV)

¹ For the law, having a shadow of the impending good things, not the selfsame image of the matters, they, with their same sacrifices which they are offering year by year, are never able to perfect to a finality those approaching.
² Else would they not cease being offered, because those offering divine service, having been once cleansed, are having no longer any consciousness of sins?
³ But in them there is a recollection of sins year by year;
⁴ for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of he-goats to be eliminating sins.
⁵ Wherefore, entering into the world, He is saying, Sacrifice and approach present Thou dost not will, Yet a body dost Thou adapt to Me.
⁶ In ascent approaches and those concerning sin Thou dost not delight.
⁷ Then said I, "Lo! I am arriving-In the summary of the scroll it is written concerning Me-To do Thy will, O God."
⁸ Further up, when saying that "Sacrifice and approach present and ascent approaches and those concerning sin Thou dost not will, neither dost Thou delight in them" (which are being offered according to law),
⁹ then He has declared, "Lo! I am arriving to do Thy will, O God!" He is despatching the first, that He should be establishing the second.
¹⁰ By which will we are hallowed through the approach present of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.
¹¹ And every chief priest, indeed, stands ministering day by day, and offering often the same sacrifices, which never can take sins from about us.
¹² Yet This One, when offering one sacrifice for sins, is seated to a finality at the right hand of God,
¹³ waiting furthermore till His enemies may be placed as a footstool for His feet.
¹⁴ For by one approach present He has perfected to a finality those who are hallowed.
¹⁵ Now the holy spirit also is testifying to us, for after having declared,
¹⁶ "'This is the covenant which I shall be covenanting with them after those days,' the Lord is saying, 'imparting My laws to their hearts, I shall be inscribing them on their comprehension also,
¹⁷ and of their sins and their lawlessnesses shall I under no circumstances still be reminded.'"
¹⁸ Now where there is a pardon of these, there is no longer an approach present concerned with sin.
¹⁹ Having then, brethren, boldness for the entrance of the holy places by the blood of Jesus,
²⁰ by a recently slain and living way which He dedicates for us, through the curtain, that is, His flesh,
²¹ and a great Priest over the house of God,
²² we may be approaching with a true heart, in the assurance of faith, with hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience, and a body bathed in clean water.
²³ We may be retaining the avowal of the expectation without wavering, for faithful is He Who promises.
²⁴ And we may be considering one another to incite to love and ideal acts,
²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, according as the custom of some is, but entreating, and so much rather as you are observing the day drawing near.
²⁶ For at our sinning voluntarily after obtaining the recognition of the truth, it is no longer leaving a sacrifice concerned with sins,
²⁷ but a certain fearful waiting for judging and fiery jealousy, about to be eating the hostile.
²⁸ Anyone repudiating Moses' law is dying without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, are you supposing, will he be counted worthy who tramples on the Son of God, and deems the blood of the covenant by which he is hallowed contaminating, and outrages the spirit of grace?
³⁰ For we are acquainted with Him Who is saying, Mine is vengeance! I will repay! the Lord is saying, and again, "The Lord will be judging His people"
³¹ Fearful is it to be falling into the hands of the living God!
³² Now recollect the former days in which, being enlightened, you endure a vast competition of sufferings,
³³ in this, indeed, being a gazing stock both of reproaches and afflictions, yet in this, becoming participants of those behaving thus.
³⁴ For you sympathize with my prisoners also, and anticipate the pillage of your possessions with joy, knowing you yourselves have better and permanent property in the heavens.
³⁵ You should not, then, be casting away your boldness, which is having a great reward,
³⁶ for you have need of endurance that, doing the will of God, you should be requited with the promise.
³⁷ For still how very little, He Who is coming will be arriving and not delaying.
³⁸ Now My "just one by faith shall be living," and "If he should ever be shrinking, My soul is not delighting in him."
³⁹ Yet we are not of those shrinking back to destruction, but of faith for the procuring of the soul.

Chapter 10 (KJV)

¹ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
² For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
³ But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
⁶ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
⁸ Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
⁹ Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
¹¹ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
¹³ From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
¹⁴ For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
¹⁵ Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
¹⁶ This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
¹⁷ And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
¹⁸ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
²⁰ By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
²¹ And having an high priest over the house of God;
²² Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
²⁴ And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
²⁷ But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
²⁸ He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 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, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
³³ Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
³⁴ For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
³⁷ For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
³⁸ Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
³⁹ But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
