Hebrews 10

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.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 umbram enim habens lex bonorum futurorum non ipsam imaginem rerum per singulos annos hisdem ipsis hostiis quas offerunt indesinenter numquam potest accedentes perfectos facere

2 alioquin non cessassent offerri ideo quod nullam haberent ultra conscientiam peccati cultores semel mundati

3 sed in ipsis commemoratio peccatorum per singulos annos fit

4 inpossibile enim est sanguine taurorum et hircorum auferri peccata

5 ideo ingrediens mundum dicit hostiam et oblationem noluisti corpus autem aptasti mihi

6 holocaustomata et pro peccato non tibi placuit

7 tunc dixi ecce venio in capitulo libri scriptum est de me ut faciam Deus voluntatem tuam

8 superius dicens quia hostias et oblationes et holocaustomata et pro peccato noluisti nec placita sunt tibi quae secundum legem offeruntur

9 tunc dixit ecce venio ut faciam Deus voluntatem tuam aufert primum ut sequens statuat

10 in qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Christi Iesu in semel

11 et omnis quidem sacerdos praesto est cotidie ministrans et easdem saepe offerens hostias quae numquam possunt auferre peccata

12 hic autem unam pro peccatis offerens hostiam in sempiternum sedit in dextera Dei

13 de cetero expectans donec ponantur inimici eius scabillum pedum eius

14 una enim oblatione consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos

15 contestatur autem nos et Spiritus Sanctus postquam enim dixit

16 hoc autem testamentum quod testabor ad illos post dies illos dicit Dominus dando leges meas in cordibus eorum et in mente eorum superscribam eas

17 et peccatorum et iniquitatium eorum iam non recordabor amplius

18 ubi autem horum remissio iam non oblatio pro peccato

19 habentes itaque fratres fiduciam in introitu sanctorum in sanguine Christi

20 quam initiavit nobis viam novam et viventem per velamen id est carnem suam

21 et sacerdotem magnum super domum Dei

22 accedamus cum vero corde in plenitudine fidei aspersi corda a conscientia mala et abluti corpus aqua munda

23 teneamus spei nostrae confessionem indeclinabilem fidelis enim est qui repromisit

24 et consideremus invicem in provocationem caritatis et bonorum operum

25 non deserentes collectionem nostram sicut est consuetudinis quibusdam sed consolantes et tanto magis quanto videritis adpropinquantem diem

26 voluntarie enim peccantibus nobis post acceptam notitiam veritatis iam non relinquitur pro peccatis hostia

27 terribilis autem quaedam expectatio iudicii et ignis aemulatio quae consumptura est adversarios

28 irritam quis faciens legem Mosi sine ulla miseratione duobus vel tribus testibus moritur

29 quanto magis putatis deteriora mereri supplicia qui Filium Dei conculcaverit et sanguinem testamenti pollutum duxerit in quo sanctificatus est et Spiritui gratiae contumeliam fecerit

30 scimus enim qui dixit mihi vindictam ego reddam et iterum quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum

31 horrendum est incidere in manus Dei viventis

32 rememoramini autem pristinos dies in quibus inluminati magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum

33 et in altero quidem obprobriis et tribulationibus spectaculum facti in altero autem socii taliter conversantium effecti

34 nam et vinctis conpassi estis et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis cognoscentes vos habere meliorem et manentem substantiam

35 nolite itaque amittere confidentiam vestram quae magnam habet remunerationem

36 patientia enim vobis necessaria est ut voluntatem Dei facientes reportetis promissionem

37 adhuc enim modicum quantulum qui venturus est veniet et non tardabit

38 iustus autem meus ex fide vivit quod si subtraxerit se non placebit animae meae

39 nos autem non sumus subtractionis in perditionem sed fidei in adquisitionem animae
