For the Law, since it has only ^aa shadow of ^bthe good things to come and not the very ¹form of things, ²can ^cnever, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, ^dmake perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had ^aconsciousness of sins? 3 But ^ain ¹those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is ^aimpossible for the ^bblood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, ^awhen He comes into the world, He says,“^bSACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,BUT ^cA BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

8 After saying above, “^aSACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND ^bWHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices ^cFOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are offered according to the Law), 9 then He ¹said, “^aBEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By ¹this will we have been ^asanctified through ^bthe offering of ^cthe body of Jesus Christ ^donce for all.

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and ^aoffering time after time the same sacrifices, which ^bcan never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice ^afor ¹sins ^bfor all time, ^cSAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, 13 waiting from that time onward ^aUNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. 14 For by one offering He has ^aperfected ^bfor all time those who are ¹sanctified. 15 And ^athe Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

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

19 Therefore, brethren, since we ^ahave confidence to ^benter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by ^aa new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^bthe veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and since we have ^aa great priest ^bover the house of God, 22 let us ^adraw near with a ¹sincere heart in ^bfull assurance of faith, having our hearts ^csprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies ^dwashed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the ^aconfession of our ^bhope without wavering, for ^cHe who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how ^ato stimulate one another to love and ^bgood deeds, 25 not forsaking our own ^aassembling together, as is the habit of some, but ^bencouraging one another; and all the more as you see ^cthe day drawing near.

26 For if we go on ^asinning willfully after receiving ^bthe knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of ^ajudgment and ^bTHE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 28 ^aAnyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 ^aHow much severer punishment do you think he will deserve ^bwho has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean ^cthe blood of the covenant ^dby which he was sanctified, and has ^einsulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “^aVENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “^bTHE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” 31 It is a ^aterrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^bliving God.

32 But remember ^athe former days, ¹when, after being ^benlightened, you endured a great ^cconflict of sufferings, 33 partly by being ^amade a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming ^bsharers with those who were so treated. 34 For you ^ashowed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted ^bjoyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves ^ca better possession and a lasting one. 35 Therefore, do not throw away your ^aconfidence, which has a great ^breward. 36 For you have need of ^aendurance, so that when you have ^bdone the will of God, you may ^creceive ¹what was promised.

39 But ¹we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the ²preserving of the soul.

For the Law, since it has only ^aa shadow of ^bthe good things to come and not the ¹form of those things itself, ²can ^cnever, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, ^dmake those who approach perfect. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had ^aconsciousness of sins? 3 But ^ain ¹those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is ^aimpossible for the ^bblood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, ^awhen He comes into the world, He says,“^bYOU HAVE NOT DESIRED SACRIFICE AND OFFERING,BUT ^cYOU HAVE PREPARED A BODY FOR ME;

8 After saying above, “^aSACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND ^bWHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS ^cFOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE IN THEM” (which are offered according to the Law), 9 then He ¹said, “^aBEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By ¹this will, we have been ^asanctified through ^bthe offering of ^cthe body of Jesus Christ ^donce for all time.

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we ^ahave confidence to ^benter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by ^aa new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^bthe veil, that is, through His flesh, 21 and since we have ^aa great priest ^bover the house of God, 22 let’s ^aapproach God with a ¹sincere heart in ^bfull assurance of faith, having our hearts ^csprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies ^dwashed with pure water. 23 Let’s hold firmly to the ^aconfession of our ^bhope without wavering, for ^cHe who promised is faithful; 24 and let’s consider how ^ato ¹encourage one another in love and ^bgood deeds, 25 not abandoning our own ^ameeting together, as is the habit of some people, but ^bencouraging one another; and all the more as you see ^cthe day drawing near.

26 For if we go on ^asinning willfully after receiving ^bthe knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of ^ajudgment and ^bTHE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 28 ^aAnyone who has ignored the Law of Moses is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 ^aHow much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve ^bwho has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean ^cthe blood of the covenant ^dby which he was sanctified, and has ^einsulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “^aVENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “^bTHE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” 31 It is a ^aterrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^bliving God.

32 But remember ^athe former days, ¹when, after being ^benlightened, you endured a great ^cconflict of sufferings, 33 partly by being ^amade a public spectacle through insults and distress, and partly by becoming ^1bcompanions with those who were so treated. 34 For you ^ashowed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted ^bjoyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves ^ca better and lasting possession. 35 Therefore, do not throw away your ^aconfidence, which has a great ^breward. 36 For you have need of ^aendurance, so that when you have ^bdone the will of God, you may ^creceive ¹what was promised.
