1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins. 4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
“Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire,
6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them”
(those which are offered according to the law), 9 then he has said,
“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may
establish the second, 10 by which will we have been sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Every priest indeed
stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which
can never take away sins, 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for
sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 from that time
waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14 For by
one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them:
‘I will put my laws on their heart,
then he says,
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by
the blood of Jesus, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and
living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 and having a
great priest over the house of God, 22 let’s draw near with a true heart
in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let us hold fast the
confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.
24 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is,
but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you
37 “In a very little while,
38 But the righteous will live by faith.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those
who have faith to the saving of the soul.
