Hebrews 10

CHAPTER 10

The New Covenant

1[⁵a shadow ¹For ⁴having ²the ³law] of the [²about to be ¹good things] is not itself the very image of the things, [²yearly ⁴with the ⁵same ⁶sacrifices ¹which ³they offer] in perpetuity, and at no time is able [²the ones ³coming forward ¹to perfect]. 2Since [²would not ¹they] have ceased to be offered. On account of [⁵would not ⁶have ⁷any longer ⁸conscience ⁹of sins ¹the ones ²serving ³once ⁴being cleansed]; 3but in these there is a remembrance of sins yearly. 4For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of he-goats to remove sins. 5Therefore entering into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you readied for me. 6Whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin you did not think well of. 7Then I said, Behold, I come (in the roll of the scroll it has been written concerning me)   to do, O God,   your will. 8By earlier saying that, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and for sin offerings  you did not want, nor think well of (which [²according to ³the ⁴law ¹are offered]) 9then he said, Behold, I come   to do, O God,   your will. In this he does away with the first, that the second should be established. 10By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body   of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And indeed every priest stands daily officiating, and [²the ³same ⁵often ¹offering ⁴sacrifices], which at no time are able to remove sins. 12But he [²one ⁴for ⁵sins ¹having offered ³sacrifice], in perpetuity sat at the right   of God; 13for the remaining time  looking out until [²be placed   ¹his enemies] as a footstool   of his feet. 14For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the ones having been sanctified. 15[⁵bears witness ¹And ⁶to us ⁷also ²the ⁴spirit   ³holy]; for after   he describes beforehand, 16This is  the covenant which I will ordain with them after   those days, says the Lord, putting my laws upon their hearts; and upon   their thoughts I will inscribe them; 17and   their sins and   their lawless deeds in no way shall I remember any longer. 18But where there is a release of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. 19Having then, brethren, confidence for the entrance into  the holies by the blood   of Jesus, 20which he dedicated to us a way newly made and living, through the veil, that is to say   his flesh; 21and having  [²priest ¹a great] over the house   of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of belief, [³being sprinkled ¹with  ²hearts] from [²conscience ¹a wicked], and [³being bathed ¹the ²body ⁵water ⁴with clean]. 23Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering! for trustworthy is the one promising. 24And let us mind one another for stimulating love and good works! 25not abandoning the assembling of ourselves, as the custom with some, but encouraging one another, and by so much more as much as you see [³approaching ¹the ²day]. 26For where voluntarily we sin after   receiving the full knowledge of the truth, no longer [³for ⁴sins ¹is left ²a sacrifice]; 27[³fearful ¹but ²a certain] expectation of judgment, and [²fire ¹a zealous ⁴to devour ³being about] the adversaries. 28Anyone disregarding the law of Moses [²without the help ³of compassions ⁴upon the testimony  ⁵of two ⁶or ⁷three ⁸witnesses ¹dies]. 29Of how much do you think worse shall he be worthy of punishment the one [²the ³son   ⁴of God ¹having trampled], and [²the ³blood ⁴of the ⁵covenant ⁶as common ¹esteeming], in which he was sanctified, and [²the ³spirit   ⁴of favor ¹having insulted]? 30For we know the one having said, Punishment is mine, I will recompense, says the Lord. And again, saying  The Lord will judge   his people. 31It is fearful   to fall into the hands of the living God. 32But call to mind the prior days, in which having been enlightened, [²much ³conflict ¹you endured] of sufferings; 33this indeed [²both in scornings ³and ⁴afflictions ¹being made a public spectacle]; but by this [²partners ³of the ones ⁴thus ⁵behaving in being scorned  ¹having become]. 34For both in  my bonds you sympathized; and the seizure   of your possessions with joy you accepted, knowing to have in yourselves a better possession in heavens, and abiding. 35Do not throw off then   your confidence, which has [²payment ¹great]. 36[⁴of endurance ¹For ²you have ³need], that [²the ³will   ⁴of God ¹having done], you should receive the promise, saying, 37For yet a little while the one coming shall come, and will not delay. 38But the just [²of ³belief ¹shall live]; and if he keeps back, [²takes no pleasure   ¹my soul] in him. 39But we are not keeping back to destruction, but of belief for a procurement of life.
