Hebrews 10

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

1For the LawG3551, since it hasG2192 only 1a shadowG4639 of 2the goodG18 thingsG18 toG3195 comeG3195 and not the 3formG1504 of thoseG3588 thingsG4229 itselfG846, 4canG1410 5neverG3763, by the sameG846 sacrificesG2378 whichG3739 they offerG4374 continuallyG1336 everyG2596 yearG1763, 6makeG5048 thoseG3588 who approachG4334 perfectG5048. 2OtherwiseG1893, would they not have ceasedG3973 to be offeredG4374, becauseG1223 the worshipersG3000, having onceG530 been cleansedG2511, would noG3367 longerG2089 haveG2192 hadG2192 7consciousnessG4893 of sinsG266? 3But 8in 9thoseG846 sacrifices there is a reminderG364 of sinsG266 everyG2596 yearG1763. 4For it is 10impossibleG102 for the 11bloodG129 of bullsG5022 and goatsG5131 to takeG851 awayG851 sinsG266. 5ThereforeG1352, 12when He comesG1525 into the worldG2889, He saysG3004, “13You have not desiredG2309 sacrificeG2378 and offeringG4376, But 14You have preparedG2675 a bodyG4983 for Me;615You have not takenG2106 pleasureG2106 in wholeG3646 burntG3646 offeringsG3646 and offerings for sinG266.716ThenG5119 I saidG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, I haveG2240 comeG2240 (It is writtenG1125 of Me in 17the scrollG2777 of the bookG975) To doG4160 Your willG2307, O GodG2316.’” 8After sayingG3004 aboveG511, “18SacrificesG2378 and offeringsG4376 and 19wholeG3646 burntG3646 offeringsG3646 and offerings 20for sinG266 You have not desiredG2309, norG3761 have You takenG2106 pleasureG2106 in them” (whichG3748 are offeredG4374 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551), 9thenG5119 He 21saidG3004, “22BeholdG2400, I haveG2240 comeG2240 to doG4160 Your willG2307.” He takesG337 awayG337 the firstG4413 inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 establishG2476 the secondG1208. 10By 23thisG3739 willG2307, we have beenG1510 24sanctifiedG37 throughG1223 25the offeringG4376 of 26the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 27onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time.

11EveryG3956 priestG2409 standsG2476 dailyG2596G2250 ministeringG3008 and 28offeringG4374 timeG4178 afterG4178 timeG4178 the sameG846 sacrificesG2378, whichG3748 29canG1410 neverG3763 takeG4014 awayG4014 sinsG266; 12but He, having offeredG4374 oneG1520 sacrificeG2378 30for 31sinsG266 32for allG1336 timeG1336, 33satG2523 downG2523 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, 13waitingG1551 from that timeG3062 onwardG3062 34untilG2193 His enemiesG2190 are madeG5087 a footstoolG5286 for His feetG4228. 14For by oneG1520 offeringG4376 He has 35perfectedG5048 36for allG1336 timeG1336 thoseG3588 who are 37sanctifiedG37. 15And 38the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 testifiesG3140 to us; for afterG3326 sayingG3004,16“39ThisG3778 is the covenantG1242 whichG3739 I will makeG1303 with them AfterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, declaresG3004 the LordG2962: I will putG1325 My lawsG3551 upon their heartsG2588, And writeG1924 them on their mindG1271,” He then says,17“40And their sinsG266 and their lawlessG458 deedsG458 I will noG3756G3361 longerG2089 rememberG3403.” 18NowG1161 whereG3699 there is forgivenessG859 of theseG3778 thingsG3778, an offeringG4376 for sinG266 is noG3765 longerG3765 required.

A New and Living Way

19ThereforeG3767, brothersG80 and sisters, since we 41haveG2192 confidenceG3954 to 42enterG1529 the holyG40 placeG40 by the bloodG129 of JesusG2424, 20by 43a newG4372 and livingG2198 wayG3598 whichG3739 He inauguratedG1457 for us throughG1223 44the veilG2665, that is, through His fleshG4561, 21and since we have 45a greatG3173 priestG2409 46overG1909 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, 22let’s 47approachG4334 God with a 48sincereG228 heartG2588 in 49fullG4136 assuranceG4136 of faithG4102, having our heartsG2588 50sprinkledG4472 clean from an evilG4190 conscienceG4893 and our bodiesG4983 51washedG3068 with pureG2513 waterG5204. 23Let’s holdG2722 firmlyG2722 toG2722 the 52confessionG3671 of our 53hopeG1680 withoutG186 waveringG186, for 54He who promisedG1861 is faithfulG4103; 24and let’s considerG2657 how 55to 56encourageG3948 oneG240 anotherG240 in loveG26 and 57goodG2570 deedsG2041, 25not abandoningG1459 our ownG1438 58meetingG1997 togetherG1997, as is the habitG1485 of someG5100 peopleG5100, but 59encouragingG3870 one another; and allG5118 the moreG3123 as you seeG991 60the dayG2250 drawingG1448 nearG1448.

Christ or Judgment

26For if we go on 61sinningG264 willfullyG1596 afterG3326 receivingG2983 62the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, there noG3765 longerG3765 remainsG620 a sacrificeG2378 for sinsG266, 27but a terrifyingG5398 expectationG1561 of 63judgmentG2920 and 64the furyG2205 of a fireG4442 which willG3195 consumeG2068 the adversariesG5227. 2865AnyoneG5100 who has ignoredG114 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475 is putG599 toG599 deathG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 on the testimony of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 2966HowG4214 muchG4214 moreG5501 severeG5501 punishmentG5098 do you thinkG1380 he will deserveG515 67who has trampledG2662 underfootG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, and has regardedG2233 as uncleanG2839 68the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 69by whichG3739 he was sanctifiedG37, and has 70insultedG1796 the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485? 30For we knowG3609 Him who saidG3004, “71VengeanceG1557 is MineG1699, I will repayG467.” And againG3825, “72The LordG2962 will judgeG2919 His peopleG2992.” 31It is a 73terrifyingG5398 thingG5398 to fallG1706 into the handsG5495 of the 74livingG2198 GodG2316.

32But rememberG363 75the formerG4387 daysG2250, 76whenG1722G3739, after being 77enlightenedG5461, you enduredG5278 a greatG4183 78conflictG119 of sufferingsG3804, 33partlyG3778G3303 by being 79madeG2301 aG2301 publicG2301 spectacleG2301 through insultsG3680 and distressG2347, and partlyG1161 by becomingG1096 8081companionsG2844 with thoseG3588 who were soG3779 treatedG390. 34For you 82showedG4834 sympathyG4834 to the prisonersG1198 and acceptedG4327 83joyfullyG5479 the seizureG724 of your propertyG5225, knowingG1097 that you haveG2192 for yourselvesG1438 84a betterG2909 and lastingG3306 possessionG5223. 35ThereforeG3767, do not throwG577 awayG577 your 85confidenceG3954, whichG3748 hasG2192 a greatG3173 86rewardG3405. 36For you haveG2192 needG5532 of 87enduranceG5281, soG2443 thatG2443 when you have 88doneG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, you may 89receiveG2865 90whatG1860 wasG1860 promisedG1860.3791For yetG2089 in a veryG3745 littleG3398 whileG3745, 92He who is comingG2064 will comeG2240, and will not delayG5549.3893But My righteousG1342 oneG1342 will liveG2198 by faithG4102; And ifG1437 he shrinksG5288 backG5288, My soulG5590 hasG2106 noG3756 pleasureG2106 in him. 39But 94we are not among those who shrinkG5289 backG5289 to destructionG684, but of those who have faithG4102 for the safekeepingG4047 of the soulG5590.
