10Since 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.G1063G3551G2192G4639G18G3195G3756G846G1504G4229G1410G3763G846G2378G3739G4374G2596G1763G1519G1336G5048G4334G50482Otherwise, wouldn't they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, once purified, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?G1893G302G3756G3973G4374G1223G3000G530G2508G2192G3367G2089G4893G2663But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.G235G1722G846G364G266G2596G17634For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.G1063G102G129G5022G2532G5131G851G2665Therefore, as He was coming into the world, He said: You did not want sacrifice and offering, but You prepared a body for Me.G1352G1525G1519G2889G3004G2378G2532G4376G2309G3756G1161G4983G2675G34276You did not delight in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.G3646G2532G4012G266G2106G3756G21067Then I said, "See, I have come— it is written about Me in the volume of the scroll— to do Your will, O God!"G5119G2036G2400G2240G1722G2777G975G1125G4012G1700G4160G4675G2307G23168After 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),G511G3004G3754G2378G2532G4376G2532G3646G2532G4012G266G2309G3756G3761G2106G3748G4374G2596G35519He then says, See, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first to establish the second.G5119G2046G2400G2240G4160G4675G2307G2316G337G4413G2443G2476G120810By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.G1722G3739G2307G2070G37G1223G4376G4983G2424G5547G217811Now every priest stands day after day ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.G2532G3303G3956G2409G2476G2596G2250G3008G2532G4374G4178G846G2378G3748G1410G3763G4014G26612But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.G1161G846G4374G3391G2378G5228G266G1519G1336G2523G1722G1188G231613He is now waiting until His enemies are made His footstool.G3063G1551G2193G846G2190G5087G846G5286G422814For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.G1063G3391G4376G5048G1519G1336G3715The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after He had said:G1161G40G4151G2532G3140G2254G1063G3326G428016This 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,G3778G1242G3739G1303G4314G846G3326G1565G2250G3004G2962G1325G3450G3551G1909G846G2588G2532G1909G846G1271G1924G84617[He adds]: I will never again remember their sins and their lawless acts.G2532G846G266G2532G458G846G3415G3364G208918Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.G1161G3699G859G5130G3765G4376G4012G26619Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,G2192G3767G80G3954G1519G1529G39G1722G129G242420by the new and living way that He has inaugurated for us, through the curtain (that is, His flesh);G4372G2532G2198G3598G3739G1457G2254G1223G2665G5123G846G456121and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,G2532G3173G2409G1909G3624G231622let 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.G4334G3326G228G2588G1722G4136G4102G4472G2588G4472G575G4190G4893G2532G4983G3068G2513G520423Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.G2722G3671G1680G186G1063G4103G186124And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,G2532G2657G240G1519G3948G26G2532G2570G204125not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.G3361G1459G1997G1438G1997G2531G1485G5100G235G3870G2532G5118G3123G3745G991G2250G144826For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,G1063G2257G264G1596G3326G2983G1922G225G620G3765G2378G4012G26627but a terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries.G1161G5100G5398G1561G2920G2532G4442G2205G3195G2068G522728If anyone disregards Moses' law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.G5100G114G3475G3551G599G5565G3628G1909G1417G2228G5140G314429How 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?G4214G5501G5098G1380G515G3588G2662G5207G2316G2532G2233G129G1242G3739G1722G37G2839G2532G1796G4151G548530For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people.G1063G1492G2036G1557G1698G1473G467G3004G2962G2532G3825G2962G2919G846G299231It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!G5398G1706G1519G5495G2198G231632Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.G1161G363G4386G2250G1722G3739G5461G5278G4183G119G380433Sometimes you were publicly exposed to taunts and afflictions, and at other times you were companions of those who were treated that way.G5124G3303G2301G5037G3680G2532G2347G1161G5124G1096G2844G390G3779G39034For you sympathized with the prisoners and accepted with joy the confiscation of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves have a better and enduring possession.G2532G1063G4834G3450G1199G2532G4327G3326G5479G724G5216G5224G1097G1722G1438G2192G1722G3772G2909G2532G3306G522335So don't throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.G577G3361G577G3767G5216G3954G3748G2192G3173G340536For you need endurance, so that after you have done God's will, you may receive what was promised.G1063G2192G5532G5281G2443G4160G2307G2316G2865G186037For in yet a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.G1063G2089G3397G3745G3745G2064G2240G2532G5549G3756G554938But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.G1161G1342G2198G1537G4102G2532G1437G5288G3450G5590G2106G3756G2106G1722G84639But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.G1161G2249G2070G3756G5289G1519G684G235G4102G1519G4047G5590
