Hebrews 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
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 gazing stock 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.
