Hebreos 10
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
La ley no puede quitar los pecados
10 Pues ya que la ley solo tiene la sombra(A) de los bienes futuros(B) y no la forma[a] misma de las cosas, nunca puede[b], por los mismos sacrificios que ellos ofrecen continuamente año tras año(C), hacer perfectos a los que se acercan(D). 2 De otra manera, ¿no habrían cesado de ofrecerse, ya que los adoradores, una vez purificados[c], no tendrían ya más conciencia de pecado(E)? 3 Pero en esos sacrificios hay[d] un recordatorio de pecados año tras año(F). 4 Porque es imposible(G) que la sangre de toros y de machos cabríos quite los pecados(H).
5 Por lo cual, al entrar Cristo en el mundo(I), dice:
«Sacrificio y ofrenda no has querido(J),
Pero un cuerpo has preparado para Mí(K);
6 En holocaustos y sacrificios por el pecado no te has complacido(L).
7 -»Entonces dije: “Aquí estoy, Yo he venido
(En el rollo del libro está escrito de Mí(M))
Para hacer, oh Dios, Tu voluntad(N)”».
8 Habiendo dicho anteriormente: «Sacrificios y ofrendas(O) y holocaustos(P), y sacrificios por el pecado no has querido(Q), ni en ellos Tú te has complacido» (los cuales se ofrecen según la ley), 9 entonces dijo: «Mira, Yo he venido para hacer Tu voluntad(R)». Él quita lo primero para establecer lo segundo. 10 Por esa voluntad[e] hemos sido santificados(S) mediante la ofrenda(T) del cuerpo de Jesucristo(U) ofrecida una vez para siempre(V).
Cristo puede quitar los pecados
11 Ciertamente todo sacerdote está de pie, día tras día, ministrando y ofreciendo muchas veces(W) los mismos sacrificios, que nunca pueden quitar los pecados(X). 12 Pero Cristo, habiendo ofrecido un solo sacrificio por los pecados(Y) para siempre(Z), se sentó[f] a la diestra de Dios(AA), 13 esperando de ahí en adelante hasta que Sus enemigos sean puestos por estrado de Sus pies(AB). 14 Porque por una ofrenda Él ha hecho perfectos(AC) para siempre a los que son santificados(AD).
15 También el Espíritu Santo nos da testimonio(AE). Porque después de haber dicho:
16 «Este es el pacto que haré[g] con ellos
Después de aquellos días, dice el Señor:
Pondré Mis leyes en su corazón,
Y en su mente las escribiré(AF)», añade:
17 «Y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados e iniquidades(AG)».
18 Ahora bien, donde hay perdón de estas cosas, ya no hay ofrenda por el pecado.
Exhortación a la perseverancia
19 Entonces, hermanos, puesto que tenemos confianza(AH) para entrar al Lugar Santísimo(AI) por la sangre de Jesús, 20 por un camino nuevo y vivo(AJ) que Él inauguró para nosotros por medio del velo(AK), es decir, Su carne, 21 y puesto que tenemos un gran Sacerdote(AL) sobre la casa de Dios(AM), 22 acerquémonos con corazón sincero(AN), en plena certidumbre de fe(AO), teniendo nuestro corazón purificado[h] de mala conciencia(AP) y nuestro cuerpo lavado con agua pura(AQ).
23 Mantengamos firme la profesión[i](AR) de nuestra esperanza(AS) sin vacilar, porque fiel es Aquel que prometió(AT). 24 Consideremos cómo estimularnos unos a otros(AU) al amor y a las buenas obras(AV), 25 no dejando de congregarnos(AW), como algunos tienen por costumbre, sino exhortándonos unos a otros(AX), y mucho más al ver que el día se acerca(AY).
Advertencia a los que continúan pecando
26 Porque si continuamos pecando deliberadamente(AZ) después de haber recibido el conocimiento de la verdad(BA), ya no queda sacrificio alguno por los pecados, 27 sino cierta horrenda expectación de juicio(BB), y la furia de un fuego que ha de consumir a los adversarios(BC). 28 Cualquiera que viola la ley de Moisés muere sin misericordia por el testimonio de dos o tres testigos(BD).
29 ¿Cuánto mayor castigo piensan ustedes que merecerá(BE) el que ha pisoteado bajo sus pies al Hijo de Dios(BF), y ha tenido por inmunda la sangre del pacto(BG) por la cual fue santificado(BH), y ha ultrajado al Espíritu de gracia(BI)? 30 Pues conocemos a Aquel que dijo: «Mía es la venganza, Yo pagaré(BJ)». Y otra vez: «El Señor juzgará a Su pueblo(BK)». 31 ¡Horrenda cosa(BL) es caer en las manos del Dios vivo(BM)!
Necesidad de perseverar
32 Pero recuerden los días pasados(BN), cuando[j] después de haber sido iluminados(BO), ustedes soportaron una gran lucha de padecimientos(BP). 33 Por una parte, siendo hechos un espectáculo público(BQ) en oprobios y aflicciones, y por otra, siendo compañeros(BR) de los que eran tratados así. 34 Porque tuvieron compasión(BS) de los prisioneros y aceptaron con gozo(BT) el despojo de sus bienes, sabiendo que tienen para ustedes mismos una mejor y más duradera posesión(BU). 35 Por tanto, no desechen su confianza(BV), la cual tiene gran recompensa(BW). 36 Porque ustedes tienen necesidad de paciencia[k](BX), para que cuando hayan hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengan la promesa(BY).
37 Porque dentro de muy poco tiempo,
El que ha de venir vendrá(BZ) y no tardará(CA).
38 Mas Mi justo vivirá por la fe(CB);
Y si retrocede, Mi alma no se complacerá en él.
39 Pero nosotros no somos de los que retroceden para perdición, sino de los que tienen fe para la preservación[l] del alma.

Hebrews 10
King James Version
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.
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.
Hebrews 10
New International Version
Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All
10 The law is only a shadow(A) of the good things(B) that are coming—not the realities themselves.(C) For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect(D) those who draw near to worship.(E) 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.(F) 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(G) 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(H) to take away sins.(I)
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(J) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(K)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(L)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](M)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(N)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(O) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(P) through the sacrifice of the body(Q) of Jesus Christ once for all.(R)
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(S) which can never take away sins.(T) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(U) he sat down at the right hand of God,(V) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(W) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(X) forever those who are being made holy.(Y)
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(Z) to us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”[b](AA)
17 Then he adds:
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
A Call to Persevere in Faith
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(AC) to enter the Most Holy Place(AD) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(AE) opened for us through the curtain,(AF) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(AG) over the house of God,(AH) 22 let us draw near to God(AI) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(AJ) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(AK) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(AL) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(AM) we profess,(AN) for he who promised is faithful.(AO) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(AP) 25 not giving up meeting together,(AQ) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(AR)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(AS)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(AT) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(AU) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(AV) that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.(AW) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(AX) underfoot,(AY) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(AZ) that sanctified them,(BA) and who has insulted the Spirit(BB) of grace?(BC) 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](BD) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[e](BE) 31 It is a dreadful thing(BF) to fall into the hands(BG) of the living God.(BH)
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(BI) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(BJ) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(BK) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(BL) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(BM) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(BN) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(BO) it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere(BP) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(BQ) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[g] one will live by faith.(BT)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[h](BU)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
