Hebrews 10

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 For the law, possessing a shadow of the good [things] that are about to come, not the form of things itself, [is] never able {year by year} by means of the same sacrifices which they offer without interruption to make perfect those who draw near.

2 For otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the ones who worship, having been purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

3 But in them [there is] a reminder of sins {year by year}.

4 For [it is] impossible [for] the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore, [when he] came into the world, he said, "Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you prepared for me;

6 you did not delight in whole burnt offerings and [offerings] for sins.

7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come-- in the roll of the book it is written about me-- to do your will, O God.'

8 [When he] says above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin you did not want, nor did you delight in,"<note: Various phrases from the quotation of Ps 40:6 in Heb 10:5-6 are repeated here> which are offered according to the law,

9 then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will."<note: A repetition of Ps 40:8 from Heb 10:7; many later manuscripts add "O God," making the quotation conform to Heb 10:7 more closely> He takes away the first in order to establish the second,

10 by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest stands every day serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which are never able to take away sins.

12 But this one, [after he] had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.

14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

16 "This [is] the covenant that I will decree for them after those days, says the Lord: I am putting my laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."

17 [He] also [says], "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will never remember again."<note: A quotation from Jer 31:34>

18 Now where [there is] forgiveness of these, [there is] no longer an offering for sin.

19 Therefore, brothers, [since we] have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

20 [by the] new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,

21 and [since we have] a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled [clean] from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast to the confession of [our] hope without wavering, for the one who promised [is] faithful.

24 And let us think about {how to stir one another up to love} and good works,

25 not abandoning {our meeting together}, as [is] the habit of some, but encouraging [each other], and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.

26 For [if] we keep on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that is about to consume the adversaries.

28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses.

29 How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know the one who said, "Vengeance [is] mine, I will repay,"<note: A quotation from Deut 32:35> and again, "The Lord will judge his people."<note: A quotation from Deut 32:36>

31 [It is] a terrifying [thing] to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But remember the former days in which, [after you] were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,

33 sometimes being publicly exposed both to insults and to afflictions, and sometimes becoming sharers with those who were treated in this way.

34 For you both sympathized with the prisoners and put up with the seizure of your belongings with joy [because you] knew that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward.

36 For you have need of endurance, in order that [after you] have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

37 For yet "a very, very little [while], [and] the one who is coming will come and will not delay.

38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul is not well pleased with him."

39 But we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but among those who have faith to the preservation of [our] souls.

New International Version NIV

1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.

3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.

4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;

6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’ ”

8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.

9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.

10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.

14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”

17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,

27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.

33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.

34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.

35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

37 For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.”

38 And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
