Hebrews 10 — LSV
10Verse 1For the Law having a shadow of the good things coming—not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,Verse 2since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having been purified once?Verse 3But in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,Verse 4for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Verse 5For this reason, coming into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not will, and a body You prepared for Me;Verse 6in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, You did not delight.Verse 7Then I said, Behold, I come (in a volume of the scroll it has been written concerning Me), to do, O God, Your will”;Verse 8saying above, “Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering You did not will, nor delight in” (which are offered according to the Law),Verse 9then He said, “Behold, I come to do, O God, Your will”; He takes away the first that He may establish the second;Verse 10in which will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all,Verse 11and every priest, indeed, has daily stood serving, and offering the same sacrifices many times, that are never able to take away sins.Verse 12But He, having offered one sacrifice for sin—to the end, sat down at the right hand of God—Verse 13as to the rest, expecting until He may place His enemies [as] His footstool,Verse 14for by one offering He has perfected to the end those being sanctified;Verse 15and the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after that He has said before,Verse 16“This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,”Verse 17and, “I will remember their sins and their lawlessness no more”;Verse 18and where [there is] forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.Verse 19Having, therefore, brothers, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, by the blood of Jesus,Verse 20which [is] the way He initiated for us—new and living, through the veil, that is, His flesh—Verse 21and a Great Priest over the house of God,Verse 22may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;Verse 23may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope (for He who promised [is] faithful),Verse 24and may we consider to provoke one another to love and to good works,Verse 25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] a custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as you see the Day coming near.Verse 26For [if] we are sinning willingly after receiving the full knowledge of the truth—there remains no more sacrifice for sins,Verse 27but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;Verse 28anyone having set aside a law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses.Verse 29Of how much worse punishment will he be counted worthy who trampled on the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant a common thing, by which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?Verse 30For we have known Him who is saying, “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay, says the LORD”; and again, “The LORD will judge His people.”Verse 31[It is] fearful to fall into [the] hands of [the] living God.Verse 32But call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you endured much conflict of sufferings;Verse 33this indeed, being made spectacles with both insults and afflictions, now this, having become partners of those so living,Verse 34for you also sympathized with my bonds, and the robbery of your goods you received with joy, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.Verse 35You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great repayment of reward,Verse 36for you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.Verse 37“For yet [in] a very, very little [while], He who is coming will come, and will not linger,”Verse 38but, “The righteous will live by faith; and if he may draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”Verse 39But we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
