Hebrews 10:1-25 ▼

1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things about to be, not the image of the things themselves, every year with the same sacrifices that they offer unto perpetuity, never is able to perfect those coming near.

2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered, because of no more having conscience of sins, those serving having been cleansed once?

3 But in these is a reminder of sins every year.

4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore, coming into the world, He says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

6 In burnt offerings and concerning sin offerings You were not well pleased.

7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—in the scroll of the book it has been written about Me—to do Your will, O God.’”

8 Saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and those for sin You did not desire, nor were You well pleased” (which are offered according to the law),

9 then He has said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first so that He might establish the second,

10 in which act of will, we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And indeed every priest has stood every day, serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which never are able to take away sins.

12 But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins unto perpetuity, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 as to the rest awaiting until His enemies should be placed as a footstool for His feet.

14 For by one offering, He has perfected unto perpetuity those being sanctified.

15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us. For after having said:

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their mind,”

17 then He says: “Their sins and their lawless acts, I will remember no more.”

18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, no longer is there an offering concerning sin.

19 Therefore, brothers, having confidence for entrance to the holy places in the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way, which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 and having a great priest over the house of God,

22 we should come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, the hearts having been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and the body having been washed with pure water.

23 We should hold fast to the confession of our hope, unwavering; for the One having promised is faithful.

24 And we should carefully consider toward stirring up one another to love and to good works,

25 not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the custom with some, but exhorting, and so much more as you? see the Day drawing near.
