Hebrews 10
Big screen- 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 comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:
- 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
- 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
- 8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
- 9Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He takes 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 stands 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 has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
- 15Whereof the Holy Spirit 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, says 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 has 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 all of you see the day approaching.
- 26For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains 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 greater punishment, suppose all of you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
- 30For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says 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 all of you were illuminated, all of you endured a great fight of afflictions;
- 33Partly, whilst all of you were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst all of you became companions of them that were so used.
- 34For all of you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that all of you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
- 35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward.
- 36For all of you have need of patience, that, after all of you have done the will of God, all of you 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.
