Hebrews 10 📜 📕 ↷
Christ's Perfect Sacrifice
1 FOR the law having a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things: every year with the self-same hosts which they offer incessantly, can never make the comers thereto perfect:📜💬📚
2 otherwise they should have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer.📜💬📚
3 But in them there is made a commemoration of sin every year.📜💬📚
4 For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sins should be taken away.📜💬📚
5 Therefore coming into the world he saith: Host and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:📜💬📚
6 Holocausts and for sin did not please thee.📜💬📚
7 Then said I, Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: That I may do thy will, o God.📜💬📚
8 Saying before, Because hosts and oblations & holocausts, & for sin thou wouldest not, neither did they please thee, which are offered according to the law,📜💬📚
9 then said I, Behold I come that I may do thy will, o God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that that followeth.📜💬📚
10 In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of JESUS Christ once.📜💬📚
11 And every Priest indeed is ready daily ministering, and often offering the same hosts, which can never take away sins:📜💬📚
12 but this man offering one host for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,📜💬📚
13 hence-forth expecting, until his enemies be put the foot-stool of his feet.📜💬📚
14 For by one oblation hath he consummated for ever them that are sanctified.📜💬📚
15 And the Holy Ghost also doth testify to us. For after that, he said:📜💬📚
16 And this is the Testament which I will make to them after those days, saith our Lord, giving my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I superscribe them:📜💬📚
17 and their sins and iniquities I will now remember no more.📜💬📚
18 But where there is remission of these, now there is not an oblation for sins.📜💬📚
A Call to Persevere
19 Having therefore, brethren, confidence in the entering of the Holies in the blood of Christ:📜💬📚
20 which he hath dedicated to us a new & living way by the veil, that is, his flesh,📜💬📚
21 and a high Priest over the house of God,📜💬📚
22 let us approach with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from evil conscience, and our body washed with clean water.📜💬📚
23 Let us hold the confession of our hope undeclining (for he is faithful that hath promised)📜💬📚
24 and let us consider one another unto the provocation of charity and of good works:📜💬📚
25 not forsaking our assembly as some are accustomed, but comforting, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.📜💬📚
26 For if we sin willingly after the knowledge of the truth received, now there is not left an host for sins,📜💬📚
27 but a certain terrible expectation of judgement & rage of fire, which shall consume the adversaries.📜💬📚
28 A man making the Law of Moyses frustrate, without any mercy dieth under two or three witnesses.📜💬📚
29 How much more think you, doth he deserve worse punishments which hath trodden the Son of God under-foot, and esteemed the blood of the testament polluted, wherein he is sanctified, and hath done contumely to the spirit of grace?📜💬📚
30 For we know him that said, Revenge to me, I will repay. And again, That our Lord will judge his people.📜💬📚
31 It is horrible to fall into the hands of the living God.📜💬📚
32 But call to mind the old days: wherein being illuminated, you sustained a great fight of passions.📜💬📚
33 And on the one part certes by reproaches and tribulations made a spectacle; & on the other part made companions of them that conversed in such sort.📜💬📚
34 For, you both had compassion on them that were in bonds: and the spoil of your own goods you took with joy, knowing that you have a better and a permanent substance.📜💬📚
35 Do not therefore leese your confidence, which hath a great remuneration.📜💬📚
36 For patience is necessary for you: that doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.📜💬📚
37 For yet a little and a very little while, he that is to come, will come, and will not slack.📜💬📚
38 And my just liveth of faith: but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul.📜💬📚
39 But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition: but of faith to the winning of the soul.📜💬📚
