He takes 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 stands 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 now on expecting till his enemies be made his footstool+ . ¹⁴ For by one offering he has 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, says 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, brothers, boldness to enter into the holies by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, which is, his flesh; ²¹ And having a 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 to 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 you see the day approaching. ²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, will he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which+ he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will 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 you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions; ³³ Partly+ , whilst you were made a gazingstock both by rebukes and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used. ³⁴ For+ you had compassion of me in my chains, and took joyfully+ the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. ³⁵ Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward. ³⁶ For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet a little while+ , and he that will come will come, and will not tarry. ³⁸ Now the just will live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul will have no pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
