Hebrews 10
10
1For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. 2Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins? 3But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins. 4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
“You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering,
but you prepared a body for me.
6You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)
to do your will, O God.’”#Psalms 40:6-8
8Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law), 9then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, 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.
11Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, 13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days,” says the Lord,
“I will put my laws on their heart,
I will also write them on their mind;”#Jeremiah 31:33
then he says,
17“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”#Jeremiah 31:34
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21and having a great priest over God’s house, 22let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, 23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord.#Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”#Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalms 135:14 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 34For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 35Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 36For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37“In a very little while,
he who comes will come and will not wait.
38But the righteous one will live by faith.
If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”#Habakkuk 2:3-4
39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

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.
