¹ For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.

² Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?

³ But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.

⁴ For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.

⁵ Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

⁶ Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.

⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come (in [the] roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O¹ God, thy will.

1. 10.7 Elohim

⁸ Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

⁹ then he said, Lo, I come to do thy 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 Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

¹² But he, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of¹ God,

1. 10.12 Elohim

¹³ waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.

¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:

¹⁶ This [is] the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith [the] Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

¹⁷ and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

¹⁸ But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

²¹ and [having] a great priest over the house of¹ God,

1. 10.21 Elohim

²² let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)

²⁴ and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.

²⁶ For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

²⁸ Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:

²⁹ of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of¹ God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

1. 10.29 Elohim

³⁰ For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

³¹ [It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living¹ God.

1. 10.31 Elohim

³² But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;

³³ on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.

³⁴ For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.

³⁶ For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of¹ God, ye may receive the promise.

1. 10.36 Elohim

³⁷ For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

³⁸ But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.

³⁹ But we are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.
