Hebrews:10

* 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 . * For then would they not have ceased to be offered ? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins . * But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year . * For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins . * Wherefore when he cometh into the world , he saith , Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not , but a body hast thou prepared me : * In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure . * Then said I , Lo , I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me ,) to do thy will , O God . * 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 ; * Then said he , Lo , I come to do thy will , O God . He taketh away the first , that he may establish the second . * By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . * And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices , which can never take away sins : * But this man , after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever , sat down on the right hand of God ; * From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool . * For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified . * Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us : for after that he had said before , * 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 ; * And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more . * Now where remission of these is , there is no more offering for sin . * Having therefore , brethren , boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus , * By a new and living way , which he hath consecrated for us , through the veil , that is to say , his flesh ; * And having an high priest over the house of God ; * 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 . * Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering ; (for he is faithful that promised ;) * And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works : * 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 . * For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth , there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins , * But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation , which shall devour the adversaries . * He that despised Moses ' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses : * 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 ? * 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 . * It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God . * But call to remembrance the former days , in which , after ye were illuminated , ye endured a great fight of afflictions ; * Partly , whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions ; and partly , whilst ye became companions of them that were so used . * 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 . * Cast not away therefore your confidence , which hath great recompence of reward . * For ye have need of patience , that , after ye have done the will of God , ye might receive the promise . * For yet a little while , and he that shall come will come , and will not tarry . * Now the just shall live by faith : but if any man draw back , my soul shall have no pleasure in him . * But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition ; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul .
