Hebrews 10 (WEBP)

[1] For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
[2] Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
[3] But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
[4] For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
[5] Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
[6] You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
[7] Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
[8] Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those 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, that he may establish the second,
[10] by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[11] Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
[12] but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
[13] from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
[14] For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
[15] The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
[16] “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
[17] “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
[18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
[19] Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
[20] by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
[21] and having a great priest over God’s house,
[22] let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
[23] let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
[24] Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
[25] not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
[26] For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
[27] but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
[28] A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
[29] How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
[30] For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
[32] But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
[33] partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
[34] For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
[35] Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
[36] For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
[37] “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
[38] But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
[39] But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Hebrews 10 (KJVS)

[1] For 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.
[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
[4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body hast thou prepared me:
[6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
[7] Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) To do thy will, O God.
[8] Above 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;
[9] then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12] but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13] from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
[15] Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
[16] This 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;
[17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
[19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[21] and having an high priest over the house of God;
[22] let 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.
[23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
[24] and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
[25] not 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.
[26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
[27] but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
[28] He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
[29] of 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?
[30] For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
[32] But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
[33] partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
[34] For 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.
[35] Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
[36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
[37] For yet a little while, And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
[38] Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
[39] But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
