NASB Bible

Hebrews 10

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

1

For the Law, since it has only  aa shadow of  bthe good things to come and not the very  1form of things,  2can  cnever, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year,  dmake perfect those who draw near.

2

Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had  aconsciousness of sins?

3

But  ain  1those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

4

For it is  aimpossible for the  bblood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5

Therefore,  awhen He comes into the world, He says, " bSACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT  cA BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

6

 aIN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.

7

aTHEN I SAID, `BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN  bTHE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.' "

8

After saying above, " aSACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND  bWHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices  cFOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

9

then He  1said, " aBEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

10

By  1this will we have been  asanctified through  bthe offering of  cthe body of Jesus Christ  donce for all.

11

Every priest stands daily ministering and  aoffering time after time the same sacrifices, which  bcan never take away sins;

12

but He, having offered one sacrifice  afor  1sins  bfor all time,  cSAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

13

waiting from that time onward  aUNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

14

For by one offering He has  aperfected  bfor all time those who are  1sanctified.

15

And  athe Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

16

aTHIS 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

aAND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

18

Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

A New and Living Way

19

Therefore, brethren, since we  ahave confidence to  benter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

20

by  aa new and living way which He inaugurated for us through  bthe veil, that is, His flesh,

21

and since we have  aa great priest  bover the house of God,

22

let us  adraw near with a  1sincere heart in  bfull assurance of faith, having our hearts  csprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies  dwashed with pure water.

23

Let us hold fast the  aconfession of our  bhope without wavering, for  cHe who promised is faithful;

24

and let us consider how  ato stimulate one another to love and  bgood deeds,

25

not forsaking our own  aassembling together, as is the habit of some, but  bencouraging one another; and all the more as you see  cthe day drawing near.

Christ or Judgment

26

For if we go on  asinning willfully after receiving  bthe knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27

but a terrifying expectation of  ajudgment and  bTHE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

28

 aAnyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

29

 aHow much severer punishment do you think he will deserve  bwho has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean  cthe blood of the covenant  dby which he was sanctified, and has  einsulted the Spirit of grace?

30

For we know Him who said, " aVENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, " bTHE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE."

31

It is a  aterrifying thing to fall into the hands of the  bliving God.

32

But remember  athe former days,  1when, after being  benlightened, you endured a great  cconflict of sufferings,

33

partly by being  amade a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming  bsharers with those who were so treated.

34

For you  ashowed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted  bjoyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves  ca better possession and a lasting one.

35

Therefore, do not throw away your  aconfidence, which has a great  breward.

36

For you have need of  aendurance, so that when you have  bdone the will of God, you may  creceive  1what was promised.

37

 aFOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,  bHE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

38

 aBUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

39

But  1we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the  2preserving of the soul.
