律法是将来美事的影儿

10 律法既是将来美事的影儿,不是本物的真像,总不能借着每年常献一样的祭物,叫那近前来的人得以完全。 若不然,献祭的事岂不早已止住了吗?因为礼拜的人,良心既被洁净,就不再觉得有罪了。 但这些祭物是叫人每年想起罪来, 因为公牛和山羊的血断不能除罪。 所以,基督到世上来的时候就说:“神啊,祭物和礼物是你不愿意的,你曾给我预备了身体。 燔祭和赎罪祭是你不喜欢的。 那时我说:‘神啊,我来了,为要照你的旨意行,我的事在经卷上已经记载了。’” 以上说:“祭物和礼物,燔祭和赎罪祭,是你不愿意的,也是你不喜欢的。”这都是按着律法献的。 后又说:“我来了为要照你的旨意行。”可见他是除去在先的,为要立定在后的。 10 我们凭这旨意,靠耶稣基督只一次献上他的身体,就得以成圣。 11 凡祭司天天站着侍奉神,屡次献上一样的祭物,这祭物永不能除罪。 12 但基督献了一次永远的赎罪祭,就在神的右边坐下了, 13 从此等候他仇敌成了他的脚凳。 14 因为他一次献祭,便叫那得以成圣的人永远完全。 15 圣灵也对我们作见证,因为他既已说过: 16 “主说:‘那些日子以后,我与他们所立的约乃是这样:我要将我的律法写在他们心上,又要放在他们的里面’”, 17 以后就说:“我不再记念他们的罪愆和他们的过犯。” 18 这些罪过既已赦免,就不用再为罪献祭了。

当存诚心和充足的信心来到神面前

19 弟兄们,我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所, 20 是借着他给我们开了一条又新又活的路,从幔子经过,这幔子就是他的身体; 21 又有一位大祭司治理神的家, 22 并我们心中天良的亏欠已经洒去,身体用清水洗净了,就当存着诚心和充足的信心来到神面前。 23 也要坚守我们所承认的指望,不致摇动,因为那应许我们的是信实的。 24 又要彼此相顾,激发爱心,勉励行善。 25 你们不可停止聚会,好像那些停止惯了的人,倒要彼此劝勉;既知道[a]那日子临近,就更当如此。

警戒故意犯罪

26 因为我们得知真道以后,若故意犯罪,赎罪的祭就再没有了, 27 唯有战惧等候审判和那烧灭众敌人的烈火。 28 人干犯摩西的律法,凭两三个见证人,尚且不得怜恤而死; 29 何况人践踏神的儿子,将那使他成圣之约的血当做平常,又亵慢施恩的圣灵,你们想,他要受的刑罚该怎样加重呢! 30 因为我们知道谁说“申冤在我,我必报应”,又说“主要审判他的百姓”。 31 落在永生神的手里,真是可怕的!

义人必因信得生

32 你们要追念往日蒙了光照以后,所忍受大争战的各样苦难。 33 一面被毁谤,遭患难,成了戏景叫众人观看;一面陪伴那些受这样苦难的人。 34 因为你们体恤了那些被捆锁的人,并且你们的家业被人抢去,也甘心忍受,知道自己有更美、长存的家业。 35 所以,你们不可丢弃勇敢的心,存这样的心必得大赏赐。 36 你们必须忍耐,使你们行完了神的旨意,就可以得着所应许的。 37 “因为还有一点点时候,那要来的就来,并不迟延。 38 只是义人[b]必因信得生;他若退后,我心里就不喜欢他。” 39 我们却不是退后入沉沦的那等人,乃是有信心以致灵魂得救的人。

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.

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

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

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

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

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

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

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;

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.

10 The law is only an unclear picture of the good things coming in the future. It is not a perfect picture of the real things. The people under the law offered the same sacrifices every year. These sacrifices can never make perfect those who come near to worship God. If the law could make them perfect, the sacrifices would have already stopped. The worshipers would be made clean, and they would no longer feel guilty for their sins. These sacrifices remind them of their sins every year, because it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

So when Christ came into the world, he said:

“You do not want sacrifices and offerings.
    But you have prepared a body for me.
You do not ask for burnt offerings
    and offerings to take away sins.
Then I said, ‘Look, I have come.
    It is written about me in the book.
    My God, I have come to do what you want.’” Psalm 40:6-8

In this Scripture he first said, “You do not want sacrifices and offerings. You do not ask for burnt offerings and offerings to take away sins.” (These are all sacrifices that the law commands.) Then he said, “Here I am. I have come to do what you want.” So God ends the first system of sacrifices so that he can set up the new system. 10 Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do. And because of this, we are made holy through the sacrifice of his body. Christ made this sacrifice only once, and for all time.

11 Every day the priests stand and do their religious service. Again and again they offer the same sacrifices. But those sacrifices can never take away sins. 12 But Christ offered one sacrifice for sins, and it is good forever. Then he sat down at the right side of God. 13 And now Christ waits there for his enemies to be put under his power. 14 With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

15 The Holy Spirit also tells us about this. First he says:

16 “In the future I will make this agreement[a]
    with the people of Israel, says the Lord.
I will put my teachings in their hearts.
    And I will write them on their minds.” Jeremiah 31:33

17 Then he says:

“Their sins and the evil things they do—
    I will not remember anymore.” Jeremiah 31:34

18 And when these have been forgiven, there is no more need for a sacrifice for sins.

Continue to Trust God

19 So, brothers, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place. We can do this without fear because of the blood of Jesus’ death. 20 We can enter through a new way that Jesus opened for us. It is a living way. It leads through the curtain—Christ’s body. 21 And we have a great priest over God’s house. 22 So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith. We have been cleansed and made free from feelings of guilt. And our bodies have been washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed. We can trust God to do what he promised.

24 Let us think about each other and help each other to show love and do good deeds. 25 You should not stay away from the church meetings, as some are doing. But you should meet together and encourage each other. Do this even more as you see the Day[b] coming.

26 If we decide to go on sinning after we have learned the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins. 27 There is nothing but fear in waiting for the judgment and the angry fire that will destroy all those who live against God. 28 Any person who refused to obey the law of Moses was found guilty from the proof given by two or three witnesses. He was put to death without mercy. 29 So what do you think should be done to a person who does not respect the Son of God? He looks at the blood of the agreement, the blood that made him holy, as no different from other men’s blood. He insults the Spirit of God’s grace. Surely he should have a much worse punishment. 30 We know that God said, “I will punish those who do wrong. I will repay them.”[c] And he also said, “The Lord will judge his people.”[d] 31 It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Remember those days in the past when you first learned the truth. You had a hard struggle with many sufferings, but you continued strong. 33 Sometimes you were hurt and persecuted before crowds of people. And sometimes you shared with those who were being treated that way. 34 You helped the prisoners. And you even had joy when all that you owned was taken from you. You were joyful because you knew that you had something better and more lasting.

35 So do not lose the courage that you had in the past. It has a great reward. 36 You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised. 37 For in a very short time,

“The One who is coming will come.
    He will not be late.
38 The person who is right with me
    will have life because of his faith.
But if he turns back with fear,
    I will not be pleased with him.” Habakkuk 2:3-4

39 But we are not those who turn back and are lost. We are people who have faith and are saved.
