Hebrews 10

1For 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.

1For the law having a shadow of the goodthingsto come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect.

2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

2Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

2For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer.

3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

3But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year:

4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

5Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me.

6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

6In whole burnt offerings andsacrificesfor sin thou hadst no pleasure:

6Holocausts for sin did not please thee.

7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

7Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

7Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.

8Above 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;

8Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings andsacrificesfor sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),

8In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.

9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

9then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

9Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.

10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.

11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

11And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:

11And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering and often offering the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.

12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

12But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,

13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

13henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.

13From henceforth expecting until his enemies be made his footstool.

14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

14For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

15And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

15And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:

16This 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;

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he,

16And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them:

17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

17 And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

17And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.

18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

18Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.

29of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged 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?

29How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace?

33Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

33partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.
