Hebrews 10

¹For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.

²For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?

³But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.

⁴For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.

⁵Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me.

⁶In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.

⁷Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God.

⁸Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe)

⁹Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second.

¹⁰By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made.

¹¹And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:

¹²But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God,

¹³And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.

¹⁴For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.

¹⁵For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,

¹⁶This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.

¹⁷And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.

¹⁹Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place,

²⁰By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:

²¹And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,

²²Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,

²³And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)

²⁴And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,

²⁵Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere.

²⁶For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,

²⁷But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.

²⁸He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:

²⁹Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people.

³¹It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.

³²Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions,

³³Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from.

³⁴For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance.

³⁵Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁶For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.

³⁷For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.

³⁸Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³⁹But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.

Hebrews 10

¹For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

²For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

³But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

⁴For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

⁵Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

⁶In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

⁷Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

⁸Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

⁹Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

¹⁰By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

¹²But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁵Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

¹⁶This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹And having an high priest over the house of God;

²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

²⁴And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

²⁵Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

²⁶For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

²⁷But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁸He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

²⁹Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³²But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

³³Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

³⁴For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

³⁵Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

³⁶For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

³⁷For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

³⁸Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

³⁹But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
