chapter_Hebrews_10
Hebrews 10:1: For the law having a shadow of the coming good things &#8212; 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, Hebrews 10:2: since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified? Hebrews 10:3: but in those sacrifices is a remembrance of sins every year, Hebrews 10:4: for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Hebrews 10:5: Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me, Hebrews 10:6: in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight, Hebrews 10:7: then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' Hebrews 10:8: saying above &#8212; 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' &#8212; which according to the law are offered &#8212; Hebrews 10:9: then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; Hebrews 10:10: in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, Hebrews 10:11: and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. Hebrews 10:12: And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered &#8212; to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, &#8212; Hebrews 10:13: as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool, Hebrews 10:14: for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified; Hebrews 10:15: and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before, Hebrews 10:16: 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,' Hebrews 10:17: and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;' Hebrews 10:18: and where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Hebrews 10:19: Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, Hebrews 10:20: which way he did initiate for us &#8212; new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh &#8212; Hebrews 10:21: and a high priest over the house of God, Hebrews 10:22: may 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; Hebrews 10:23: may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise), Hebrews 10:24: and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works, Hebrews 10:25: not 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. Hebrews 10:26: For we &#8212; wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth &#8212; no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice, Hebrews 10:27: but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers; Hebrews 10:28: any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die, Hebrews 10:29: of 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? Hebrews 10:30: for we have known Him who is saying, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, 'The Lord shall judge His people;' &#8212; Hebrews 10:31: fearful is the falling into the hands of a living God. Hebrews 10:32: And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings, Hebrews 10:33: partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living, Hebrews 10:34: for 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. Hebrews 10:35: Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward, Hebrews 10:36: for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise, Hebrews 10:37: for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry; Hebrews 10:38: and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,' Hebrews 10:39: and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
