10 律法既然是以后要来的美好事物的影子,不是本体的真象,就不能凭着每年献同样的祭品,使那些进前来的人得到完全。 如果敬拜的人一次得洁净,良心就不再觉得有罪,那么,献祭的事不是早就停止了吗? 可是那些祭品,却使人每年都想起罪来, 因为公牛和山羊的血不能把罪除去。

所以,基督到世上来的时候,就说:

“祭品和礼物不是你所要的,

你却为我预备了身体。

燔祭和赎罪祭,

不是你所喜悦的;

那时我说:

‘看哪!我来了,

经卷上已经记载我的事,

 神啊!我来是要遵行你的旨意。’”

前面说:“祭品和礼物,燔祭和赎罪祭,不是你所要的,也不是你所喜悦的。”这些都是按照律法献的; 接着又说:“看哪!我来了,是要遵行你的旨意。”可见他废除那先前的,为要建立那后来的。 10 我们凭着这旨意,借着耶稣基督一次献上他的身体,就已经成圣。

11 所有的祭司都是天天站着事奉,多次献上同样的祭品,那些祭品永远不能把罪除去。 12 唯有基督献上了一次永远有效的赎罪祭,就在 神的右边坐下来。 13 此后,只是等待 神把他的仇敌放在他的脚下,作他的脚凳。 14 因为他献上了一次的祭,就使那些成圣的人永远得到完全。

15 圣灵也向我们作见证,因为后来他说过:

16 “主说:‘在那些日子以后,

我要与他们所立的约是这样:

我要把我的律法放在他们的心思里面,

写在他们的心上。’”

17 又说:“我决不再记着他们的罪恶,

和不法的行为。”

18 这一切既然都赦免了,就不必再为罪献祭了。

劝勉和警告

19 所以,弟兄们!我们凭着耶稣的血,可以坦然无惧地进入至圣所。 20 这进入的路,是他给我们开辟的,是一条通过幔子、又新又活的路,这幔子就是他的身体。 21 我们既然有一位伟大的祭司治理 神的家, 22 我们良心的邪恶既然被洒净,身体也用清水洗净了,那么,我们就应该怀着真诚的心和完备的信,进到 神面前; 23 又应该坚持我们所宣认的盼望,毫不动摇,因为那应许我们的是信实的。 24 我们又应该彼此关心,激发爱心,勉励行善。 25 我们不可放弃聚会,好象有些人的习惯一样;却要互相劝勉。你们既然知道那日子临近,就更应该这样。

26 如果我们领受了真理的知识以后,还是故意犯罪,就再没有留下赎罪的祭品了; 27 只好恐惧地等待着审判,和那快要吞灭众仇敌的烈火。 28 如果有人干犯了摩西的律法,凭着两三个证人,他尚且得不到怜悯而死; 29 何况是践踏 神的儿子,把那使他成圣的立约的血当作俗物,又侮辱施恩的圣灵的人,你们想想,他不是应该受更严厉的刑罚吗? 30 因为我们知道谁说过:

“伸冤在我,我必报应。”

又说:

“主必定审判他自己的子民。”

31 落在永活的 神手里,真是可怕的。

要忍耐行完 神的旨意

32 你们要回想从前的日子,那时,你们蒙了光照,忍受了许多痛苦的煎熬; 33 有时在众人面前被辱骂,遭患难;有时却成了遭遇同样情形的人的同伴。 34 你们同情那些遭监禁的人;你们的家业被抢夺的时候,又以喜乐的心接受,因为知道自己有更美长存的家业。 35 所以,你们不可丢弃坦然无惧的心,这样的心是带有大赏赐的。 36 你们还需要忍耐,好使你们行完了 神的旨意,可以领受所应许的。 37 因为:

“还有一点点的时候,

那要来的就来,

并不迟延。

38 我的义人必因信得生,

如果他后退,

我的心就不喜悦他。”

39 但我们不是那些后退以致灭亡的人,而是有信心以致保全生命的人。

10 既然律法只不過是未來美好事物的影子,不是本體的真像,就不能藉着每年常獻一樣的祭物,使那些進前來的人完全。 若不然,獻祭的事豈不早已停止了嗎?因為敬拜的人僅只一次潔淨,良心就不再覺得有罪了。 但是這些祭物使人每年都想起罪來, 因為公牛和山羊的血不能除罪。

所以,基督到世上來的時候,就說:

「祭物和禮物不是你所要的,
但你曾給我預備了身體。
燔祭和贖罪祭
是你不喜歡的。
那時我說:
看哪!我來了,我的事在經卷上已經記載了;
 神啊!我來為要照你的旨意行。」

以上說:「祭物和禮物,以及燔祭和贖罪祭,不是你所要的,也不是你喜歡的。」這都是按着律法獻的。 他接着說:「看哪!我來了,為要照你的旨意行。」可見他除去在先的,為要立定在後的。 10 我們憑着這旨意,藉着耶穌基督,僅只一次獻上他的身體就得以成聖。

11 所有的祭司天天站着事奉 神,屢次獻上一樣的祭物,這祭物永不能除罪。 12 但基督獻了一次永遠有效的贖罪祭,就坐在 神的右邊, 13 從此等候他的仇敵成為他的腳凳。 14 因為他僅只一次獻祭,就使那些得以成聖的人永遠完全。

15 聖靈也對我們作證,因為他說過:

16 「主說:那些日子以後,
我與他們所立的約是這樣的:
我要將我的律法放在他們的心上,
又要寫在他們的心思裏。」

17 並說:

「他們的罪惡和他們的過犯,
我絕不再記得。」

18 這些罪過既已蒙赦免,就不用再為罪獻祭了。

勸勉和警告

19 所以,弟兄們,既然我們靠着耶穌的血得以坦然進入至聖所, 20 是藉着他給我們開了一條又新又活的路,從幔子經過,這幔子就是他的身體。 21 既然我們有一位偉大祭司治理 神的家, 22 那麼,我們該用誠心和充足的信心,同已蒙潔淨、無虧的良心,和清水洗淨了的身體來親近 神。 23 我們要堅守所宣認的指望,毫不動搖,因為應許我們的那位是信實的。 24 我們要彼此相顧,激發愛心,勉勵行善; 25 不可停止聚會,好像那些停止慣了的人,倒要彼此勸勉,既然知道那日子臨近,就更當如此。

26 如果我們領受真理的知識以後仍故意犯罪,就不再有贖罪的祭物, 27 惟有戰戰兢兢等候審判和那將吞滅眾敵人的烈火了。 28 任何人干犯摩西的律法,憑兩個或三個證人,尚且必須處死,不得寬赦, 29 更何況踐踏 神兒子的人,他們將那使他成聖之約的血當作不潔淨,又褻慢施恩的聖靈的人,你們想,他不該受更嚴厲的懲罰嗎? 30 因為我們知道誰說:

「伸冤在我,
我必報應。」

又說:

「主要審判他的百姓。」

31 落在永生 神的手裏真是可怕呀!

32 你們要追念往日;你們蒙了光照以後,忍受了許多痛苦的掙扎: 33 一面在眾人面前公然被毀謗,遭患難;一面陪伴那些受這樣苦難的人。 34 你們同情那些遭監禁的人,也欣然忍受你們的家業被人搶去,因為你們知道自己有更美好更長存的家業。 35 所以,不可丟棄你們無懼的心,存這樣的心必得大賞賜。 36 你們必須忍耐,使你們行完了 神的旨意,可以獲得所應許的。 37 因為

「還有一點點時候,
那要來的就來,必不遲延。
38 只是我的義人必因信得生;
他若退縮,我心就不喜歡他。」

39 我們卻不是退縮以致沉淪的那等人,而是有信心以致得生命的人。

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

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)
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
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)

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. 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:

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

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,

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

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.
