10For the Law, being only a reflection of the blessings to come and not their substance, can never make perfect those who come near by the same sacrifices repeatedly offered year after year.G1063G3551G2192G4639G18G3195G3756G846G1504G4229G1410G3763G846G2378G3739G4374G2596G1763G1519G1336G5048G4334G50482Otherwise, would they not have stopped offering them, because the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer be aware of any sins -G1893G302G3756G3973G4374G1223G3000G530G2508G2192G3367G2089G4893G2663Instead, through those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year,G235G1722G846G364G266G2596G17634for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.1G1063G102G129G5022G2532G5131G851G2665For this reason, the Scriptures say, when the Messiah was about to come into the world: "You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me.G1352G1525G1519G2889G3004G2378G2532G4376G2309G3756G1161G4983G2675G34276In burnt offerings and sin offerings you never took delight.G3646G2532G4012G266G2106G3756G21067Then I said, 'See, I have come to do your will, O God' In the volume of the scroll this is written about me."G5119G2036G2400G2240G1722G2777G975G1125G4012G1700G4160G4675G2307G23168In this passage he says, "You never wanted or took delight in sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sin offerings," which are offered according to the law.G511G3004G3754G2378G2532G4376G2532G3646G2532G4012G266G2309G3756G3761G2106G3748G4374G2596G35519Then he says, "See, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.G5119G2046G2400G2240G4160G4675G2307G2316G337G4413G2443G2476G120810By God's will we have been sanctified once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.G1722G3739G2307G2070G37G1223G4376G4983G2424G5547G217811Day after day every priest stands and repeatedly offers the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.G2532G3303G3956G2409G2476G2596G2250G3008G2532G4374G4178G846G2378G3748G1410G3763G4014G26612But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, "he sat down at the right hand of God."G1161G846G4374G3391G2378G5228G266G1519G1336G2523G1722G1188G231613Since that time, he has been waiting for his enemies to be made a footstool for his feet.G3063G1551G2193G846G2190G5087G846G5286G422814For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.G1063G3391G4376G5048G1519G1336G3715The Holy Spirit also assures us of this, for he said:G1161G40G4151G2532G3140G2254G1063G3326G428016"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and will write them on their minds,G3778G1242G3739G1303G4314G846G3326G1565G2250G3004G2962G1325G3450G3551G1909G846G2588G2532G1909G846G1271G1924G84617and I will never again remember their sins and their lawless deeds."G2532G846G266G2532G458G846G3415G3364G208918Now where there is forgiveness of these sins, there is no longer any offering for sin.G1161G3699G859G5130G3765G4376G4012G26619Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,G2192G3767G80G3954G1519G1529G39G1722G129G242420the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh),G4372G2532G2198G3598G3739G1457G2254G1223G2665G5123G846G456121and since we have a great high priest over the household of God,G2532G3173G2409G1909G3624G231622let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in the full assurance that faith provides, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.G4334G3326G228G2588G1722G4136G4102G4472G2588G4472G575G4190G4893G2532G4983G3068G2513G520423Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.G2722G3671G1680G186G1063G4103G186124And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds,G2532G2657G240G1519G3948G26G2532G2570G204125not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.G3361G1459G1997G1438G1997G2531G1485G5100G235G3870G2532G5118G3123G3745G991G2250G144826For if we choose to go on sinning after we have learned the full truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,G1063G2257G264G1596G3326G2983G1922G225G620G3765G2378G4012G26627but only a terrifying prospect of judgment and a raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.G1161G5100G5398G1561G2920G2532G4442G2205G3195G2068G522728Anyone who violates the law of Moses dies without mercy "on the testimony of two or three witnesses."G5100G114G3475G3551G599G5565G3628G1909G1417G2228G5140G314429How much more severe a punishment do you think that person deserves who tramples on God's Son, treats as common the blood of the covenant by which it was sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace -G4214G5501G5098G1380G515G3588G2662G5207G2316G2532G2233G129G1242G3739G1722G37G2839G2532G1796G4151G548530For we know the one who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."G1063G1492G2036G1557G1698G1473G467G3004G2962G2532G3825G2962G2919G846G299231It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!30G5398G1706G1519G5495G2198G231632But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle.G1161G363G4386G2250G1722G3739G5461G5278G4183G119G380433At times you were made a public spectacle by means of insults and persecutions, while at other times you associated with people who were treated this way.G5124G3303G2301G5037G3680G2532G2347G1161G5124G1096G2844G390G3779G39034For you sympathized with the prisoners and cheerfully submitted to the violent seizure of your property, because you know that you have a better and more permanent possession.G2532G1063G4834G3450G1199G2532G4327G3326G5479G724G5216G5224G1097G1722G1438G2192G1722G3772G2909G2532G3306G522335So don't lose your confidence, since it holds a great reward for you.G577G3361G577G3767G5216G3954G3748G2192G3173G340536For you need endurance, so that after you have done God's will you can receive what he has promised.G1063G2192G5532G5281G2443G4160G2307G2316G2865G186037For "in a very little while the one who is coming will return? he will not delay;G1063G2089G3397G3745G3745G2064G2240G2532G5549G3756G554938but my righteous one will live by faith, and if he turns back, my soul will take no pleasure in him."G1161G1342G2198G1537G4102G2532G1437G5288G3450G5590G2106G3756G2106G1722G84639Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.G1161G2249G2070G3756G5289G1519G684G235G4102G1519G4047G5590
