希伯来书 10

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

10 律法既然是以後要來的美好事物的影子，不是本體的真象，就不能憑著每年獻同樣的祭品，使那些進前來的人得到完全。 ²如果敬拜的人一次得潔淨，良心就不再覺得有罪，那麼，獻祭的事不是早就停止了嗎？ ³可是那些祭品，卻使人每年都想起罪來， ⁴因為公牛和山羊的血不能把罪除去。

⁵所以，基督到世上來的時候，就說：

“祭品和禮物不是你所要的，

你卻為我預備了身體。

⁶燔祭和贖罪祭，

不是你所喜悅的；

⁷那時我說：

‘看哪！我來了，

經卷上已經記載我的事，

　神啊！我來是要遵行你的旨意。’”

⁸前面說：“祭品和禮物，燔祭和贖罪祭，不是你所要的，也不是你所喜悅的。”這些都是按照律法獻的； ⁹接著又說：“看哪！我來了，是要遵行你的旨意。”可見他廢除那先前的，為要建立那後來的。 ¹⁰我們憑著這旨意，藉著耶穌基督一次獻上他的身體，就已經成聖。

¹¹所有的祭司都是天天站著事奉，多次獻上同樣的祭品，那些祭品永遠不能把罪除去。 ¹²唯有基督獻上了一次永遠有效的贖罪祭，就在　神的右邊坐下來。 ¹³此後，只是等待　神把他的仇敵放在他的腳下，作他的腳凳。 ¹⁴因為他獻上了一次的祭，就使那些成聖的人永遠得到完全。

¹⁵聖靈也向我們作見證，因為後來他說過：

¹⁶“主說：‘在那些日子以後，

我要與他們所立的約是這樣：

我要把我的律法放在他們的心思裡面，

寫在他們的心上。’”

¹⁷又說：“我決不再記著他們的罪惡，

和不法的行為。”

¹⁸這一切既然都赦免了，就不必再為罪獻祭了。

勸勉和警告

¹⁹所以，弟兄們！我們憑著耶穌的血，可以坦然無懼地進入至聖所。 ²⁰這進入的路，是他給我們開闢的，是一條通過幔子、又新又活的路，這幔子就是他的身體。 ²¹我們既然有一位偉大的祭司治理　神的家， ²²我們良心的邪惡既然被灑淨，身體也用清水洗淨了，那麼，我們就應該懷著真誠的心和完備的信，進到　神面前； ²³又應該堅持我們所宣認的盼望，毫不動搖，因為那應許我們的是信實的。 ²⁴我們又應該彼此關心，激發愛心，勉勵行善。 ²⁵我們不可放棄聚會，好像有些人的習慣一樣；卻要互相勸勉。你們既然知道那日子臨近，就更應該這樣。

²⁶如果我們領受了真理的知識以後，還是故意犯罪，就再沒有留下贖罪的祭品了； ²⁷只好恐懼地等待著審判，和那快要吞滅眾仇敵的烈火。 ²⁸如果有人干犯了摩西的律法，憑著兩三個證人，他尚且得不到憐憫而死； ²⁹何況是踐踏　神的兒子，把那使他成聖的立約的血當作俗物，又侮辱施恩的聖靈的人，你們想想，他不是應該受更嚴厲的刑罰嗎？ ³⁰因為我們知道誰說過：

“伸冤在我，我必報應。”

又說：

“主必定審判他自己的子民。”

³¹落在永活的　神手裡，真是可怕的。

要忍耐行完　神的旨意

³²你們要回想從前的日子，那時，你們蒙了光照，忍受了許多痛苦的煎熬； ³³有時在眾人面前被辱罵，遭患難；有時卻成了遭遇同樣情形的人的同伴。 ³⁴你們同情那些遭監禁的人；你們的家業被搶奪的時候，又以喜樂的心接受，因為知道自己有更美長存的家業。 ³⁵所以，你們不可丟棄坦然無懼的心，這樣的心是帶有大賞賜的。 ³⁶你們還需要忍耐，好使你們行完了　神的旨意，可以領受所應許的。 ³⁷因為：

“還有一點點的時候，

那要來的就來，

並不遲延。

³⁸我的義人必因信得生，

如果他後退，

我的心就不喜悅他。”

³⁹但我們不是那些後退以致滅亡的人，而是有信心以致保全生命的人。

Hebrews 10

New King James Version

Animal Sacrifices Insufficient

10 For the law, having a ^(A)shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, ^(B)can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. ²For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once ^[a]purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. ³But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. ⁴For ^(C)it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will^(D)

⁵Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

^(E)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
⁶In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
⁷Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”

⁸Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), ⁹then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, ^[b]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. ¹⁰^(F)By that will we have been ^[c]sanctified ^(G)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

¹¹And every priest stands ^(H)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. ¹²^(I)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down ^(J)at the right hand of God, ¹³from that time waiting ^(K)till His enemies are made His footstool. ¹⁴For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being ^[d]sanctified.

¹⁵But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

¹⁶^(L)“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 I will write them,” ¹⁷then He adds, ^(M)“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” ¹⁸Now where there is ^[e]remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Hold Fast Your Confession

¹⁹Therefore, brethren, having ^(N)boldness^[f] to enter ^(O)the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by a new and ^(P)living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, ²¹and having a High Priest over the house of God, ²²let us ^(Q)draw near with a true heart ^(R)in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^(S)He who promised is faithful. ²⁴And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵^(T)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and ^(U)so much the more as you see ^(V)the Day approaching.

The Just Live by Faith

²⁶For ^(W)if we sin willfully ^(X)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there ^(Y)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and ^(Z)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three ^(AA)witnesses. ²⁹^(AB)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, ^(AC)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, ^(AD)and insulted the Spirit of grace? ³⁰For we know Him who said, ^(AE)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” ^[g]says the Lord. And again, ^(AF)“The Lord will judge His people.” ³¹^(AG)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³²But ^(AH)recall the former days in which, after you were ^[h]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: ³³partly while you were made ^(AI)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while ^(AJ)you became companions of those who were so treated; ³⁴for you had compassion on ^[i]me ^(AK)in my chains, and ^(AL)joyfully accepted the plundering of your ^[j]goods, knowing that ^(AM)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves ^[k]in heaven. ³⁵Therefore do not cast away your confidence, ^(AN)which has great reward. ³⁶^(AO)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, ^(AP)you may receive the promise:

³⁷“For ^(AQ)yet a little while,
And ^(AR)He^[l] who is coming will come and will not ^[m]tarry.
³⁸Now ^(AS)the^[n] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”

³⁹But we are not of those ^(AT)who draw back to ^[o]perdition, but of those who ^(AU)believe to the saving of the soul.

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) ²Otherwise, 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) ³But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.^(G) ⁴It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats^(H) to take away sins.^(I)

⁵Therefore, when Christ came into the world,^(J) he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
    but a body you prepared for me;^(K)
⁶with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
⁷Then 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)

⁸First 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. ⁹Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”^(O) He sets aside the first to establish the second. ¹⁰And by that will, we have been made holy^(P) through the sacrifice of the body^(Q) of Jesus Christ once for all.^(R)

¹¹Day 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) ¹²But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,^(U) he sat down at the right hand of God,^(V) ¹³and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.^(W) ¹⁴For by one sacrifice he has made perfect^(X) forever those who are being made holy.^(Y)

¹⁵The 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)

¹⁷Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”^[c]^(AB)

¹⁸And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

A Call to Persevere in Faith

¹⁹Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence^(AC) to enter the Most Holy Place^(AD) by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by a new and living way^(AE) opened for us through the curtain,^(AF) that is, his body, ²¹and since we have a great priest^(AG) over the house of God,^(AH) ²²let 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) ²³Let us hold unswervingly to the hope^(AM) we profess,^(AN) for he who promised is faithful.^(AO) ²⁴And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,^(AP) ²⁵not 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)

²⁶If we deliberately keep on sinning^(AT) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,^(AU) no sacrifice for sins is left, ²⁷but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire^(AV) that will consume the enemies of God. ²⁸Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.^(AW) ²⁹How 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) ³⁰For 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) ³¹It is a dreadful thing^(BF) to fall into the hands^(BG) of the living God.^(BH)

³²Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,^(BI) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.^(BJ) ³³Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;^(BK) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.^(BL) ³⁴You 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) ³⁵So do not throw away your confidence;^(BO) it will be richly rewarded.

³⁶You need to persevere^(BP) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.^(BQ) ³⁷For,

“In just a little while,
he who is coming^(BR) will come
and will not delay.”^[f]^(BS)

³⁸And,

“But my righteous^[g] one will live by faith.^(BT)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”^[h]^(BU)

³⁹But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
