1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect.Select Hebrews 10:1
2For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer.Select Hebrews 10:2

4For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.Select Hebrews 10:4
5Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me.Select Hebrews 10:5
6Holocausts for sin did not please thee.Select Hebrews 10:6
7Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.Select Hebrews 10:7
8In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.Select Hebrews 10:8
9Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.Select Hebrews 10:9

11And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering and often offering the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.Select Hebrews 10:11
12But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,Select Hebrews 10:12
13From henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool.Select Hebrews 10:13
14For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.Select Hebrews 10:14
15And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:Select Hebrews 10:15
16And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them:Select Hebrews 10:16
17And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.Select Hebrews 10:17
18Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.Select Hebrews 10:18
19Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ:Select Hebrews 10:19
20A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh:Select Hebrews 10:20
21And a high priest over the house of God:Select Hebrews 10:21
22Let us draw near with a true heart, in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.Select Hebrews 10:22
23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised):Select Hebrews 10:23
24And let us consider one another, to provoke unto charity and to good works:Select Hebrews 10:24
25Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed: but comforting one anther, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.Select Hebrews 10:25
26For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins:Select Hebrews 10:26
27But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.Select Hebrews 10:27
28A man making void the law of Moses dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses:Select Hebrews 10:28
29How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace?Select Hebrews 10:29
30For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.Select Hebrews 10:30
