[Hebrews 10]

 

               ^10:1 For^* the law, having a shadow of the future good things (not the same image of the matters), they are never able to complete the ones who come near with the same sacrifices which they are continually offering every year. ^10:2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered? Because the ones giving-divine-service to God, once they have been cleansed, would then have a conscience of sins no more. ^10:3 But in them, those sacrifices, there is a remembrance of sins every year. ^10:4 For^* it is impossible for blood of oxen and male-goats to take away sins. ^10:5 Hence while entering into the world, he says, ‘You did not wish for sacrifice and offering, but you, yourself, completed a body for me. ^10:6 You were not delighted with whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices concerning sin. ^10:7 Then I said (it has been written concerning me in the volume of the book), Behold, I am coming to do^* your will, God.’ {Psa 40:6-8} ^10:8 After saying this above, You did not wish, nor were you delighted in sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices concerning sin (which are offered according-to the law), ^10:9 then he has said, ‘Behold, I am coming to do^* your will, God.’ {Psa 40:6-8} He takes away permanently {abolishes, or assassinates} the first covenant^*, in-order-that he should establish the second covenant^*, ^10:10 in which will, we are being made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. ^10:11 And indeed every priest stands every day ministering^* and often offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take-away sins. {Exo 29:38} ^10:12 But he himself offered one sacrifice on behalf of sins, has sat at the right hand of God continually, ^10:13 furthermore waiting until his enemies should be placed under the footstool of his feet. ^10:14 For^* he has completed the ones who are made holy in one offering continually. ^10:15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for^* after he had said beforehand, ^10:16 ‘This is the covenant^* which I will covenant^* for them after those days, says the Lord, I will be giving my laws upon their hearts and I will write them upon their minds.’ ^10:17 And ‘I should never remember their sins and their lawlessnesses anymore.’ {Jer 31:33-34} ^10:18 Now where the forgiveness of these is, there is no more an offering concerning sin.

 

             ^10:19 Therefore, brethren, we have boldness ^*for the entrance into the holy of holies by the blood of Jesus, ^10:20 a fresh and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain (this is, his flesh), ^10:21 and we have a great priest over the house of God. ^10:22 Let us come near with a true^* heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts have been sprinkled away from an evil conscience and our body, has been fully-washed in clean {Or: cleansing} water. ^10:23 We should hold-onto the confession of hope unwavering, for^* he who promised is faithful. ^10:24 And we should consider one another ^*for motivating each other from love^* and from good works, ^10:25 not forsaking the gathering-together of ourselves, just-as the custom is with some, but encouraging one another, and so-much more, inasmuch as you^° are seeing the day drawing near.

 

             ^10:26 For^* if we are willingly sinning after we received the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins, ^10:27 but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a fiery zeal being about to eat the adversaries. ^10:28 Anyone who has rejected the Law of Moses, dies without mercies upon the word of two or three witnesses. {Deu 17:6} ^10:29 How-much worse punishment, do you^° think he will be deemed worthy of, after he trampled down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant^* in which he was made holy as common, and insulted the Spirit of grace? ^10:30 For^* we know the one who said, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying, says the Lord.’ And again, ‘The Lord will judge his people.’ {Deu 32:35-36, Psa 135:14} ^10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

 

             ^10:32 But remind^° yourselves of the former days, when you^° were enlightened, in which you^° endured a large conflict of sufferings, ^10:33 in this thing indeed, being made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions, but in this thing, you^° became partners of the ones conducting themselves so. ^10:34 For^* you^° also sympathized together-with me in my bonds, and you^° accepted the ravening of your^° possessions with joy, knowing that you^° have for yourselves a better possession in the heavens and an abiding one. ^10:35 Therefore, do^° not cast away your^° boldness, which has great reward. ^10:36 For^* you^° have need of endurance after you did^* the will of God, in-order-that you^° may get the promise for yourselves. ^10:37 {‘very’ below is: ‘how-much, how-much. A way to show emphasis in Greek like our !!!.} ‘For^* still a very little while, The one coming will be coming and will not delay! ^10:38 But the righteous one will be living from faith and if he should retreat back, my soul does not delight in him.’ {Isa 26:20, Hab. 2:3-4} ^10:39 But we are not from this retreating back leading to destruction, but we are from the faith leading to the preservation of the soul.
