Hebrews 10

Perfect Pardon in the New Covenant
1The Torah has a shadow of the good things to come—not the form itself of the realities. For this reason it can never, by means of the same sacrifices they offer constantly year after year, make perfect those who draw near.
2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers—cleansed once and for all—would no longer have consciousness of sins?
3But in these sacrifices is a reminder of sins year after year—
4for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5So when Messiah comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.
6In whole burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not delight.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I come to do Your will, O God (in the scroll of the book it is written of Me).’”
8After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (those which are offered according to Torah),
9then He said, “Behold, I come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.
10By His will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Messiah Yeshua once for all.
11Indeed, every kohen stands day by day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.
12But on the other hand, when this One offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God—
13waiting from then on, until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet.
14For by one offering He has perfected forever those being made holy.
15The Ruach ha-Kodesh also testifies to us—for after saying,
16“This is the covenant that I will cut with them: ‘After those days,’ says Adonai, ‘I will put My Torah upon their hearts, and upon their minds I will write it,’” then He says,
17“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18Now where there is removal of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Let Us Pray Boldly in God’s Presence
19Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have boldness to enter into the Holies by the blood of Yeshua.
20He inaugurated a new and living way for us through the curtain—that is, His flesh.
21We also have a Kohen Gadol over God’s household.
22So let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and body washed with pure water.
23Let us hold fast the unwavering confession of hope, for He who promised is faithful.
24And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds.
25And do not neglect our own meetings, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another—and all the more so as you see the Day approaching.
26For if we keep on sinning willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27but only a terrifying expectation of judgment and a fury of fire about to devour the enemies of God.
28Anyone who rejected the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29How much more severe do you think the punishment will be for the one who has trampled Ben-Elohim underfoot, and has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30For we know the One who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “Adonai will judge His people.”
31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Suffering Perfects Yeshua’s Followers
32But remember the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings.
33Sometimes you were publicly exposed to abuses and afflictions, and other times you became partners with those who were treated this way.
34For you suffered along with the prisoners and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and lasting possession.
35Therefore, do not lose your boldness, which has great reward.
36For you need perseverance so that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37For yet “in a very little while, the Coming One will come, and He will not delay.
38But My righteous one shall live by emunah; and if he shrinks back, My soul takes no pleasure in him.”
39But we are not among the timid ones on the path to destruction, but among the faithful ones on the path to the preservation of the soul.

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.
