1For the Law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of those things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2For then, would they not have ceased to be offered? For those serving, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. 6You did not take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. 7Then I said, Behold, I have come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me) to do Your will, O God. 8Previously saying, Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor were pleased with them (which are offered according to the Law), 9then He said, Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God. He takes away the first in order that He may establish the second. 10By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13from that time onward waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. 15But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them, 17then He adds, Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. 18Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. 19Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil; that is, His flesh; 21and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting; and so much the more as you see the Day drawing near. 26For if we sin willfully after we have received the full true knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour those who oppose. 28Anyone who rejected Moses’ Law dies without mercy before two or three witnesses. 29Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled on the Son of God, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? 30For we know Him who has said, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge His people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32But remember the former days in which, after you were given understanding, you endured a great struggle with afflictions, 33indeed while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions, and also while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34for you had compassion on me in my bonds, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing, yourselves, that you have a better and an enduring possession in Heaven. 35Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not linger. 38Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul is not pleased with him. 39But we are not of those who draw back to destruction, but of those who believe to the preserving of the soul.
