1 Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of them, it can never make perfect those who come to worship by the same sacrifices that they offer continually each year. For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 Otherwise, would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, once cleansed, would no longer have had any consciousness of sins? Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.

7 Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll, Behold, I come to do your will, O God.’” Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’”
8 First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in.” These are offered according to the law. When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them|—though they were offered in accordance with the law.
9 Then he says, “Behold, I come to do your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second. then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second.

10 By this “will,” we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Every priest stands daily at his ministry, offering frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins. And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this one offered one sacrifice for sins, and took his seat forever at the right hand of God; But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool. waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.

I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17 he also says: “Their sins and their evildoing I will remember no more.” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

29 Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace? How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

33 At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and affliction; at other times you associated yourselves with those so treated. sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

34 You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.

You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
