Hebrews 10 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

Heb 10:1For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very [fn]form of things, [fn]can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

Heb 10:2

Heb 10:2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?

Heb 10:3

Heb 10:3But in [fn]those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

Heb 10:4

Heb 10:4For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

(cf. Psa 40:6–8 )

Heb 10:5

Heb 10:5Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

Heb 10:6

Heb 10:6IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.

Heb 10:7

Heb 10:7“THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME
(IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME)
TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’”

Heb 10:8

Heb 10:8After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are offered according to the Law),

Heb 10:9

Heb 10:9then He [fn]said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

Heb 10:10

Heb 10:10By [fn]this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Heb 10:11

Heb 10:11Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

Heb 10:12

Heb 10:12but He, having offered one sacrifice for [fn]sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

Heb 10:13

Heb 10:13waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

Heb 10:14

Heb 10:14For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are [fn]sanctified.

Heb 10:15

Heb 10:15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

Heb 10:16

Heb 10:16“THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART,
AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM,”
He then says,

Heb 10:17

Heb 10:17“AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”

Heb 10:18

Heb 10:18Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

A New and Living Way

Heb 10:19

Heb 10:19Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

Heb 10:20

Heb 10:20by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

Heb 10:21

Heb 10:21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

Heb 10:22

Heb 10:22let us draw near with a [fn]sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Heb 10:23

Heb 10:23Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

Heb 10:24

Heb 10:24and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

Heb 10:25

Heb 10:25not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Christ or Judgment

Heb 10:26

Heb 10:26For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

Heb 10:27

Heb 10:27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

Heb 10:28

Heb 10:28Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Heb 10:29

Heb 10:29How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Heb 10:30

Heb 10:30For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”

Heb 10:31

Heb 10:31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Heb 10:32

Heb 10:32But remember the former days, [fn]when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

Heb 10:33

Heb 10:33partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.

Heb 10:34

Heb 10:34For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

Heb 10:35

Heb 10:35Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

Heb 10:36

Heb 10:36For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive [fn]what was promised.

Heb 10:37

Heb 10:37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,
HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

Heb 10:38

Heb 10:38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

Heb 10:39

Heb 10:39But [fn]we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the [fn]preserving of the soul.
