1 For the law hav­ing a shad­ow of good things to come, and not the very im­age of the things, can nev­er with those sac­ri­fices which they of­fered year by year con­tin­u­al­ly make the com­ers there­un­to per­fect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be of­fered? be­cause that the wor­ship­pers once purged should have had no more con­science of sins. 3 But in those sac­ri­fices there is a re­mem­brance again made of sins ev­ery year. 4 For it is not pos­si­ble that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Where­fore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sac­ri­fice and of­fer­ing thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou pre­pared me: 6 In burnt of­fer­ings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no plea­sure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the vol­ume of the book it is writ­ten of me, ) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sac­ri­fice and of­fer­ing and burnt of­fer­ings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, nei­ther hadst plea­sure therein; which are of­fered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may es­tab­lish the sec­ond. 10 By the which will we are sanc­ti­fied through the of­fer­ing of the body of Je­sus Christ once ­for all. 11 And ev­ery priest standeth dai­ly min­is­ter­ing and of­fer­ing of­ten­times the same sac­ri­fices, which can nev­er take away sins: 12 But this man, af­ter he had of­fered one sac­ri­fice for sins for ev­er, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From hence­forth ex­pect­ing till his en­e­mies be made his foot­stool. 14 For by one of­fer­ing he hath per­fect­ed for ever them that are sanc­ti­fied. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a wit­ness to us: for af­ter that he had said be­fore, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them af­ter those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and in­iq­ui­ties will I re­mem­ber no more. 18 Now where re­mis­sion of these is, there is no more of­fer­ing for sin. 19 Hav­ing there­fore, brethren, bold­ness to en­ter into the holi­est by the blood of Je­sus, 20 By a new and liv­ing way, which he hath con­se­crat­ed for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full as­sur­ance of faith, hav­ing our hearts sprin­kled from an evil con­science, and our bod­ies washed with pure wa­ter. 23 Let us hold fast the pro­fes­sion of our faith with­out wa­ver­ing; (for he is faith­ful that promised;) 24 And let us con­sid­er one an­oth­er to pro­voke unto love and to good works: 25 Not for­sak­ing the as­sem­bling of our­selves to­geth­er, as the man­ner of some is; but ex­hort­ing one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day ap­proach­ing. 26 For if we sin wil­ful­ly af­ter that we have re­ceived the knowl­edge of the truth, there re­maineth no more sac­ri­fice for sins, 27 But a cer­tain fear­ful look­ing for of judg­ment and fiery in­dig­na­tion, which shall de­vour the ad­ver­saries. 28 He that de­spised Moses' law died with­out mer­cy un­der two or three wit­ness­es: 29 Of how much sor­er pun­ish­ment, sup­pose ye, shall he be thought wor­thy, who hath trod­den un­der foot the Son of God, and hath count­ed the blood of the covenant, where­with he was sanc­ti­fied, an un­holy thing, and hath done de­spite unto the Spir­it of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will rec­om­pense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his peo­ple. 31 It is a fear­ful thing to fall into the hands of the liv­ing God. 32 But call to re­mem­brance the for­mer days, in which, af­ter ye were il­lu­mi­nat­ed, ye en­dured a great fight of af­flic­tions; 33 Part­ly, whilst ye were made a gaz­ing­stock both by re­proach­es and af­flic­tions; and part­ly, whilst ye be­came com­pan­ions of them that were so used. 34 For ye had com­pas­sion of me in my bonds, and took joy­ful­ly the spoil­ing of your goods, know­ing in your­selves that ye have in heav­en a bet­ter and an en­dur­ing sub­stance. 35 Cast not away there­fore your con­fi­dence, which hath great rec­om­pence of re­ward. 36 For ye have need of pa­tience, that, af­ter ye have done the will of God, ye might re­ceive the promise. 37 For yet a lit­tle while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tar­ry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no plea­sure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdi­tion; but of them that be­lieve to the sav­ing of the soul.
