Hebrews 10 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Heb 10:1For the law having a shadow of the coming good things -- not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
Heb 10:2since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?
Heb 10:3but in those sacrifices is a remembrance of sins every year,
Heb 10:4for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
(cf. Psa 40:6–8 )
Heb 10:5Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,
Heb 10:6in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,
Heb 10:7then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'
Heb 10:8saying above -- 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered --
Heb 10:9then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;
Heb 10:10in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,
Heb 10:11and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.
Heb 10:12And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --
Heb 10:13as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool,
Heb 10:14for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;
Heb 10:15and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,
Heb 10:16'This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'
Heb 10:17and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'
Heb 10:18and where forgiveness of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

A New and Living Way

Heb 10:19Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --
Heb 10:21and a high priest over the house of God,
Heb 10:22may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
Heb 10:23may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),
Heb 10:24and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,
Heb 10:25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

Christ or Judgment

Heb 10:26For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,
Heb 10:27but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
Heb 10:28any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,
Heb 10:29of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?
Heb 10:30for we have known Him who is saying, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, 'The Lord shall judge His people;' --
Heb 10:31fearful is the falling into the hands of a living God.
Heb 10:32And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,
Heb 10:33partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,
Heb 10:34for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
Heb 10:35Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,
Heb 10:36for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,
Heb 10:37for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;
Heb 10:38and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'
Heb 10:39and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
