Hebrews 10 : 1 (HCSB)
Since the law has *only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year.
Hebrews 10 : 2 (HCSB)
Otherwise, wouldn't they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
Hebrews 10 : 3 (HCSB)
But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
Hebrews 10 : 4 (HCSB)
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Hebrews 10 : 5 (HCSB)
Therefore, as He was coming into the world, He said: You did not want sacrifice and offering, but You prepared a body for Me.
Hebrews 10 : 6 (HCSB)
You did not delight in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.
Hebrews 10 : 7 (HCSB)
Then I said, "See, I have come-- it is written about Me in the volume of the scroll-- to do Your will, O God!"
Hebrews 10 : 8 (HCSB)
After He says above, You did not desire or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings, (which are offered according to the law),
Hebrews 10 : 9 (HCSB)
He then says, See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to establish the second.
Hebrews 10 : 10 (HCSB)
By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.
Hebrews 10 : 11 (HCSB)
Now every priest stands day after day ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
Hebrews 10 : 12 (HCSB)
But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.
Hebrews 10 : 13 (HCSB)
He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool.
Hebrews 10 : 14 (HCSB)
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.
Hebrews 10 : 15 (HCSB)
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after He had said:
Hebrews 10 : 16 (HCSB)
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,
Hebrews 10 : 17 (HCSB)
*He adds : I will never again remember their sins and their lawless acts.
Hebrews 10 : 18 (HCSB)
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Hebrews 10 : 19 (HCSB)
Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10 : 20 (HCSB)
by the new and living way that He has inaugurated for us, through the curtain (that is, His flesh);
Hebrews 10 : 21 (HCSB)
and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,
Hebrews 10 : 22 (HCSB)
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled *clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.
Hebrews 10 : 23 (HCSB)
Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10 : 24 (HCSB)
And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,
Hebrews 10 : 25 (HCSB)
not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Hebrews 10 : 26 (HCSB)
For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10 : 27 (HCSB)
but a terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries.
Hebrews 10 : 28 (HCSB)
If anyone disregards Moses' law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Hebrews 10 : 29 (HCSB)
How much worse punishment, do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10 : 30 (HCSB)
For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people.
Hebrews 10 : 31 (HCSB)
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
Hebrews 10 : 32 (HCSB)
Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.
Hebrews 10 : 33 (HCSB)
Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.
Hebrews 10 : 34 (HCSB)
For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession.
Hebrews 10 : 35 (HCSB)
So don't throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Hebrews 10 : 36 (HCSB)
For you need endurance, so that after you have done God's will, you may receive what was promised.
Hebrews 10 : 37 (HCSB)
For in yet a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.
Hebrews 10 : 38 (HCSB)
But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10 : 39 (HCSB)
But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.
