1 For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.
2 Otherwise would they not have ceased being offered, because of those who worship, once having been cleansed, to have no further conscience of sins?
3 But in them is a reminder of sins each year.
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body.
6 In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased.
7 Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God,
8 saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law.
9 Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second.
10 By which will we are sanctified through the one time offering of the body of Jesus Christ.
11 And indeed every priest stands daily serving and offering the same sacrifices often, which can never take away sins.
12 But this man, having offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 waiting henceforth until his enemies are placed a footstool of his feet.
14 For by one offering he has fully perfected forever those being sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, after indeed foretelling,
16 This is the covenant that I will ordain with them after those days, says Lord, giving my laws on their hearts, and on their minds I will write them,
17 and, Their sins and their lawlessness I will, no, not further remember.
18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness for entrance into the holy things by the blood of Jesus,
20 which he inaugurated for us, a new and living way through the curtain, that is, his flesh,
21 and a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us approach with a TRUE heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed in pure water.
23 Let us hold firm the affirmation of the hope unwavering, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us examine each other for provocation of love and good works.
25 Not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the habit of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as long as ye see the day approaching.
26 For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and of fire, a fervor that is going to devour the opposition.
28 Any man who has disregarded the law of Moses dies without mercies from two or three witnesses.
29 By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously?
30 For we know him who said, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says Lord. And again, 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 being enlightened, ye endured a great contest of sufferings.
33 Partly made a spectacle, both by reviling and afflictions, and partly having become companions of those so treated.
34 For ye were both compassionate about my bonds, and ye accepted with joy the plundering of your possessions, knowing yourselves to have a superior and an enduring existence in the heavens.
35 Therefore do not throw off your boldness, which has great recompense of reward.
36 For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very little while, he who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38 But the righteous man will live from faith, and if he should withdraw, my soul is not pleased with him.
39 But we are not of retreat for destruction, but of faith for the preservation of the soul.
1 For the lawe which hath but the shadowe of good thynges to come and not the thynges in their awne fassion can never with ye sacryfises which they offer yere by yere continually make the comers thervnto parfayte.
2 For wolde not then those sacrifises have ceased to have bene offered because that the offerers once pourged shuld have had no moare conscieces of sinnes.
3 Neverthelesse in those sacrifises is ther mencion made of synnes every yeare.
4 For it is vnpossible that the bloud of oxen and of gotes shuld take awaye synnes.
5 Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not have: but a bodie hast thou ordeyned me.
6 In sacrifices and synne offerynges thou hast no lust.
7 Then I sayde: Lo I come in the chefest of the boke it is written of me that I shuld doo thy will o god.
8 Above when he had sayed sacrifice and offerynge and burnt sacrifices and synne offerynges thou woldest not have nether hast alowed (which yet are offered by the lawe)
9 and then sayde: Lo I come to do thy will o god: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter.
10 By the which will we are sanctified by the offeringe of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.
11 And every prest is redy dayly ministrynge and ofte tymes offereth one maner of offerynge which can never take awaye synnes.
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifyce for synnes sat him doune for ever on the right honde of god
13 and from hence forth tarieth till his foes be made his fotestole.
14 For with one offerynge hath he made parfecte for ever them yt are sanctified.
15 And ye holy goost also beareth vs recorde of this even when he tolde before:
16 This is the testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes sayth the lorde. I will put my lawes in their hertes and in their mynde I will write them
17 and their synnes and iniquyties will I remember no moare.
18 And where remission of these thinges is there is no moare offerynge for synne.
19 Seynge brethren that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we maye be bolde to enter into that holy place
20 by the newe and livynge waye which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle that is to saye by his flesshe.
21 And seynge also that we have an hye prest which is ruler over ye housse of god
22 let vs drawe nye with a true herte in a full fayth sprynckeled in oure hertes from an evyll conscience and wesshed in oure bodies with pure water
23 and let vs kepe the profession of oure hope with oute waveringe (for he is faythfull that promysed)
24 and let vs consyder one another to provoke vnto love and to good workes:
25 and let vs not forsake the felishippe that we have amoge oure selves as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another and that so moche the more because ye se that the daye draweth nye.
26 For yf we synne willyngly after that we have receaved the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for synnes
27 but a fearfull lokynge for iudgement and violent fyre which shall devoure the adversaries
28 He that despiseth Moses lawe dyeth with out mercy vnder two or thre witnesses.
29 Of how moche sorer punyshment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy which treadeth vnderfote the sonne of god: and counteth the bloude of the testament as an vnholy thynge wherwith he was sanctified and doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace.
30 For we knowe him that hath sayde vengeaunce belongeth vnto me I will recompence sayth the lorde. And agayne: the lorde shall iudge his people.
31 It is a fearfull thynge to faule into the hondes of the livynge God.
32 Call to remebraunce the dayes that are passed in the which after ye had receaved light ye endured a greate fyght in adversities
33 partly whill all men wondred and gased at you for the shame and trioulacion that was done vnto you and partly whill ye became companyons of the which so passed their tyme.
34 For ye suffered also with my bondes and toke a worth the spoylynge of youre goodes and that with gladnes knowynge in youre selves how that ye had in heven a better and an endurynge substaunce
35 Cast not awaye therfore youre confidence which hath great rewarde to recopence.
36 For ye have nede of paciece that after ye have done ye will of god ye myght receave the promes.
37 For yet a very lytell whyle and he that shall come will come and will not tary.
38 But the iust shall live by faith. And yf he withdrawe him silfe my soule shall have no pleasure in him.
39 We are not whiche withdrawe oure selves vnto dampnacio but partayne to fayth to the wynnynge of the soule.
