| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME; |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"THEN I SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.'" |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8After saying above, "SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them" (which are offered according to the Law), |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9then He said, "BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. |
