10Hebrews 10

1For the law having a shadow of the coming good things--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,Select Hebrews 10:1

2since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?Select Hebrews 10:2

3but in those sacrifices is a remembrance of sins every year,Select Hebrews 10:3

4for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Select Hebrews 10:4

5Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,Select Hebrews 10:5

6in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,Select Hebrews 10:6

7then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'Select Hebrews 10:7

8saying above--`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' --which according to the law are offered--Select Hebrews 10:8

9then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;Select Hebrews 10:9

10in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,Select Hebrews 10:10

11and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.Select Hebrews 10:11

12And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered--to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --Select Hebrews 10:12

13as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool,Select Hebrews 10:13

14for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;Select Hebrews 10:14

15and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,Select Hebrews 10:15

16`This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'Select Hebrews 10:16

17and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'Select Hebrews 10:17

18and where forgiveness of these is , there is no more offering for sin.Select Hebrews 10:18

19Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,Select Hebrews 10:19

20which way he did initiate for us--new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh--Select Hebrews 10:20

21and a high priest over the house of God,Select Hebrews 10:21

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;Select Hebrews 10:22

23may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),Select Hebrews 10:23

24and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,Select Hebrews 10:24

25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is , but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.Select Hebrews 10:25

26For we--wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth--no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,Select Hebrews 10:26

27but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;Select Hebrews 10:27

28any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,Select Hebrews 10:28

29of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?Select Hebrews 10:29

30for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance is Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' --Select Hebrews 10:30

31fearful is the falling into the hands of a living God.Select Hebrews 10:31

32And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,Select Hebrews 10:32

33partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,Select Hebrews 10:33

34for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.Select Hebrews 10:34

35Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,Select Hebrews 10:35

36for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,Select Hebrews 10:36

37for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;Select Hebrews 10:37

38and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'Select Hebrews 10:38

39and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.Select Hebrews 10:39
