One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

1

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All

For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.

2

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

2

Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?

3

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

3

But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.

4

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

4

For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.

5

Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

5

Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

6

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

6

Thou tookest no pleasure in 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.’”

7

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

8

After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are offered according to the Law),

8

Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

9

then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

9

then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;

10

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11

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

11

And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12

but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

12

But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,

13

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

13

waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.

14

For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

14

For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

15

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

15

And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:

16

“THIS 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,

16

This [is] the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith [the] Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

17

“AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”

17

and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

18

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

18

But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

19

A New and Living Way

Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

19

A Call to Persevere

Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,

20

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

20

the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

21

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

21

and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

22

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

22

let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.

23

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

23

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)

24

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

24

and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;

25

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

25

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.

26

Christ or Judgment

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

26

For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

27

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

27

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

28

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

28

Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:

29

How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

29

of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

30

For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”

30

For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; *I* will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31

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

31

[It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.

32

But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

32

But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;

33

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

33

on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.

34

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

34

For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.

35

Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

35

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.

36

For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

36

For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

37

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

37

For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

38

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

38

But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.

39

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

39

But *we* are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.
