Hebrews 10
10
1#Heb 8:5; 9:11For the law is a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of those things. It could never by the same sacrifices, which they offer continually year after year, perfect those who draw near. 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshippers, once purified, would no longer be conscious of sins? 3#Heb 9:7But in those sacrifices there is an annual reminder of sins. 4#Heb 10:11For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5#Heb 1:6; Ge 3:15Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifices and offerings You did not desire,
but a body You have prepared for Me.
6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You have had no pleasure.
7#Ge 3:15 Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do Your will, O God,’ as it is written of Me
in the volume of the book.”
8#Heb 10:5Previously when He said, “You did not desire sacrifices and offerings. You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin,”#Ps 40:6. which are offered in accordance with the law, 9#Heb 10:7then He said, “See, I have come to do Your will, O God.”#Ps 40:8. He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10#Jn 17:19; Heb 2:11By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11#Heb 5:1; 10:4But every priest stands daily ministering and repetitively offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12#Heb 1:3But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. 13#Heb 1:13; Ps 110:1Since that time He has been waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. 14#Heb 10:1For by one offering He has forever perfected those who are sanctified.
15#Heb 3:7The Holy Spirit also witnesses to us about this. For after saying,
16#Ro 11:27 “This 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,”#Jer 31:33.
17#Heb 8:12then He adds,
“Their sins and lawless deeds
will I remember no more.”#Jer 31:34.
18Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Exhortation and Warning
19#Eph 2:18; Heb 4:16Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20#Heb 9:3; Jn 10:9by a new and living way that He has opened for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh, 21#Heb 2:17; 1Ti 3:15and since we have a High Priest over the house of God, 22#Eze 36:25; 1Co 6:11; Heb 7:19let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse them from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23#1Co 1:9; Heb 3:6Let us firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24#Titus 3:8; Heb 13:1And let us consider how to spur one another to love and to good works. 25#Ac 2:42; Heb 3:13Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but let us exhort one another, especially as you see the Day approaching.
26#Dt 17:12; Heb 6:4–6For if we willfully continue to sin after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27#Isa 26:11; Eze 36:5but a fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which will devour the adversaries. 28#Heb 2:2; Dt 19:15Anyone who despised Moses’ law died without mercy in the presence of two or three witnesses. 29#Eph 4:30; Heb 2:3How much more severe a punishment do you suppose he deserves, who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded the blood of the covenant that sanctified him to be a common thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30#Dt 32:35–36; Ro 12:19For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine,” says the Lord, “I will repay.”#Dt 32:35. And again He says, “The Lord will judge His people.”#Dt 32:36. 31#Isa 33:14; Lk 12:5It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32#Heb 6:4; Php 1:29–30Remember the former days, after you were enlightened, in which you endured a great struggle of afflictions. 33#1Co 4:9; Php 4:14In part you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions. And in part you became companions of those who were so abused. 34#1Pe 1:4; 2Ti 1:16For you had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully endured the confiscation of your property, knowing that you have in heaven a better and an enduring possession for yourselves. 35#Heb 11:26Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which will be greatly rewarded.
36#Lk 21:19; Heb 12:1For you need patience, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive the promise. 37#Rev 22:20; Isa 26:20For,
“In yet a little while,
He who is to come will come, and will not wait.
38#Ro 1:17; Gal 3:11 Now the just shall live by faith;
but if anyone draws back,
My soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
39But we are not of those who draw back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

The Perfect Sacrifice
1Since the law has only a shadow of the good things # Col 2:17; Heb 8:5; 9:11 to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. 2Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5Therefore, as He was coming into the world, He said:
You did not want sacrifice and offering,
but You prepared a body for Me.
6You did not delight
in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.
7Then I said, “See —
it is written about Me
in the volume of the scroll —
I have come to do Your will, God! ” # Ps 40:6-8; Jr 36:2; Heb 1:6 # Ps 40:6-8
8After He says above, You did not want or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law # Mk 12:33; Heb 10:5-6), 9He then says, See, I have come to do Your will. # Other mss add God He takes away the first to establish the second. 10By this will of God, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all. # Jn 17:19; Heb 7:27; 9:12
11Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. # Nm 28:3; Heb 5:1 12But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. # Rm 8:34; Eph 1:20; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; 8:1; 12:2; 1Pt 3:22 13He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool. # Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44; Mk 12:36; Lk 20:43; Ac 2:34-35; 1Co 15:25; Heb 1:13 14For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. 15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after He says:
16This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws on their hearts
and write them on their minds,
17He adds:
I will never again remember
their sins and their lawless acts. # Jr 31:33-34: Heb 8:10,12 # Jr 31:33-34
18Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Exhortations to Godliness
19Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus, # Eph 2:18; Heb 9:25 20by a new and living way He has opened for us through the curtain (that is, His flesh # Jn 10:9; Heb 9:3,8), 21and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, # Heb 2:17; 4:14 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. # Ezk 36:25; Heb 9:14 23Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. # 1Co 1:9; Heb 3:6 24And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, 25not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, # Ac 2:42; Rm 13:11; Heb 3:13 and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Warning against Deliberate Sin
26For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, # Nm 15:30; Dt 17:12; Heb 6:4; 2Pt 2:20-21; 1Jn 5:16 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries. # Is 26:11; Zph 1:18; 2Th 1:8 28If anyone disregards Moses’ law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. # Dt 17:6; Heb 2:2 29How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane # Or ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace? # Mt 12:31-32; Eph 4:30; Heb 6:6 30For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, # Other mss add says the Lord # Dt 32:35 and again, The Lord will judge His people. # Dt 32:35-36; Ps 135:14; Rm 12:19 # Dt 32:36 31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God! # Mt 16:16; Lk 12:5
32Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings. # Php 1:29-30; Heb 6:4 33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way. # 1Co 4:9; Php 4:14; 1Th 2:14 34For you sympathized with the prisoners # Other mss read sympathized with my imprisonment and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession. # Other mss add in heaven # Mt 5:12; 1Pt 1:4-5 35So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. # Heb 2:2; 11:26 36For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised. # Lk 21:19; Heb 12:1
37For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
38But My righteous one # Other mss read the righteous one will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure in him. # Hab 2:3-4; Lk 18:8; Rm 1:17; Gl 3:11; Rv 22:20 # Is 26:20 LXX; Hab 2:3-4
39But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.
