Hebrews 10

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

2 Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

3 But in those sacrifices there is a memory made of sins year by year.

4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;

6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.

7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me) To do your will, God.'"

8 Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law),

9 then has he said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yeshua the Messiah once for all.

11 Every Kohen indeed stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 henceforth expecting until his enemies to be made the footstool of his feet.

14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 The Ruach HaKodesh also testifies to us, for after he has said,

16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then,

17 "I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Yeshua,

20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21 and having a great Kohen over the house of God;

22 let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.

24 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

28 A man who has set at nothing Moshe' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."

31 It is a fearful 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 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

35 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

36 For you need patience, so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

37 "For yet a very little while, He who comes will come, and will not wait.

38 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

The Message Bible MSG

1 The old plan was only a hint of the good things in the new plan. Since that old "law plan" wasn't complete in itself, it couldn't complete those who followed it. No matter how many sacrifices were offered year after year, they never added up to a complete solution.

2 If they had, the worshipers would have gone merrily on their way, no longer dragged down by their sins.

3 But instead of removing awareness of sin, when those animal sacrifices were repeated over and over they actually heightened awareness and guilt.

4 The plain fact is that bull and goat blood can't get rid of sin.

5 That is what is meant by this prophecy, put in the mouth of Christ: You don't want sacrifices and offerings year after year; you've prepared a body for me for a sacrifice.

6 It's not fragrance and smoke from the altar that whet your appetite.

7 So I said, "I'm here to do it your way, O God, the way it's described in your Book."

8 When he said, "You don't want sacrifices and offerings," he was referring to practices according to the old plan.

9 When he added, "I'm here to do it your way," he set aside the first in order to enact the new plan -

10 God's way - by which we are made fit for God by the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus.

11 Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem.

12 As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God

13 and waited for his enemies to cave in.

14 It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process.

15 The Holy Spirit confirms this:

16 This new plan I'm making with Israel isn't going to be written on paper, isn't going to be chiseled in stone; This time "I'm writing out the plan in them, carving it on the lining of their hearts."

17 He concludes, I'll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins.

18 Once sins are taken care of for good, there's no longer any need to offer sacrifices for them.

19 So, friends, we can now - without hesitation - walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place."

20 Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God.

21 The "curtain" into God's presence is his body.

22 So let's do it - full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out.

23 Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.

24 Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out,

25 not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.

26 If we give up and turn our backs on all we've learned, all we've been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ's sacrifice

27 and are left on our own to face the Judgment - and a mighty fierce judgment it will be!

28 If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death,

29 what do you think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit?

30 This is no light matter. God has warned us that he'll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: "Vengeance is mine, and I won't overlook a thing," and, "God will judge his people."

31 Nobody's getting by with anything, believe me.

32 Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times!

33 Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse - some days it was you, other days your friends.

34 If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back.

35 So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing!

36 But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion.

37 It won't be long now, he's on the way; he'll show up most any minute.

38 But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and runs, I won't be very happy.

39 But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We'll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.
