希伯来书 10
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
10 既然律法只不过是未来美好事物的影子，不是本体的真像，就不能藉着每年常献一样的祭物，使那些进前来的人完全。 2 若不然，献祭的事岂不早已停止了吗？因为敬拜的人仅只一次洁净，良心就不再觉得有罪了。 3 但是这些祭物使人每年都想起罪来， 4 因为公牛和山羊的血不能除罪。
5 所以，基督到世上来的时候，就说：
“祭物和礼物不是你所要的，
但你曾给我预备了身体。
6 燔祭和赎罪祭
是你不喜欢的。
7 那时我说：
看哪！我来了，我的事在经卷上已经记载了；
神啊！我来为要照你的旨意行。”
8 以上说：“祭物和礼物，以及燔祭和赎罪祭，不是你所要的，也不是你喜欢的。”这都是按着律法献的。 9 他接着说：“看哪！我来了，为要照你的旨意行。”可见他除去在先的，为要立定在后的。 10 我们凭着这旨意，藉着耶稣基督，仅只一次献上他的身体就得以成圣。
11 所有的祭司天天站着事奉 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有效的赎罪祭，就坐在 神的右边， 13 从此等候他的仇敌成为他的脚凳。 14 因为他仅只一次献祭，就使那些得以成圣的人永远完全。
15 圣灵也对我们作证，因为他说过：
16 “主说：那些日子以后，
我与他们所立的约是这样的：
我要将我的律法放在他们的心上，
又要写在他们的心思里。”
17 并说：
“他们的罪恶和他们的过犯，
我绝不再记得。”
18 这些罪过既已蒙赦免，就不用再为罪献祭了。
劝勉和警告
19 所以，弟兄们，既然我们靠着耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所， 20 是藉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 既然我们有一位伟大祭司治理 神的家， 22 那么，我们该用诚心和充足的信心，同已蒙洁净、无亏的良心，和清水洗净了的身体来亲近 神。 23 我们要坚守所宣认的指望，毫不动摇，因为应许我们的那位是信实的。 24 我们要彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善； 25 不可停止聚会，好像那些停止惯了的人，倒要彼此劝勉，既然知道那日子临近，就更当如此。
26 如果我们领受真理的知识以后仍故意犯罪，就不再有赎罪的祭物， 27 惟有战战兢兢等候审判和那将吞灭众敌人的烈火了。 28 任何人干犯摩西的律法，凭两个或三个证人，尚且必须处死，不得宽赦， 29 更何况践踏 神儿子的人，他们将那使他成圣之约的血当作不洁净，又亵慢施恩的圣灵的人，你们想，他不该受更严厉的惩罚吗？ 30 因为我们知道谁说：
“伸冤在我，
我必报应。”
又说：
“主要审判他的百姓。”
31 落在永生 神的手里真是可怕呀！
32 你们要追念往日；你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了许多痛苦的挣扎： 33 一面在众人面前公然被毁谤，遭患难；一面陪伴那些受这样苦难的人。 34 你们同情那些遭监禁的人，也欣然忍受你们的家业被人抢去，因为你们知道自己有更美好更长存的家业。 35 所以，不可丢弃你们无惧的心，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，可以获得所应许的。 37 因为
“还有一点点时候，
那要来的就来，必不迟延。
38 只是我的义人必因信得生；
他若退缩，我心就不喜欢他。”
39 我们却不是退缩以致沉沦的那等人，而是有信心以致得生命的人。
希伯来书 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
永远的赎罪祭
10 律法只是将来美事的一个投影，并非本体的真像，所以年复一年的献祭不能使前来敬拜的人纯全。 2 否则，献祭的事早已终止了，因为敬拜的人若献一次祭就能彻底得到洁净，他们就不再觉得有罪了。 3 然而，每年献祭的事都使人想起自己的罪来， 4 因为公牛和山羊的血根本不能除去人的罪。
5 所以，基督来到世上的时候曾说：
“上帝啊，祭物和供物非你所悦，
你为我预备了身体。
6 你并非喜爱燔祭和赎罪祭。
7 于是我说，
‘上帝啊，我来是要遵行你的旨意，
我的事都记在圣经上了。’”
8 基督首先说：“祭物、供物、燔祭和赎罪祭都不是你想要的，也不是你喜悦的。”这些都是依照律法献上的。 9 然后祂又说：“我来是要遵行你的旨意。”这样，祂废除了前者，为要设立后者。 10 上帝的旨意是：耶稣基督只一次献上自己的身体，便使我们永远圣洁了。
11 祭司都要天天站着供职，一次次地献上同样的祭物，只是这些祭物根本不能除罪。 12 而基督一次献上自己成为永远的赎罪祭后，就坐在上帝的右边， 13 等待祂的仇敌成为祂的脚凳。 14 祂凭自己的一次牺牲，使那些得以圣洁的人永远纯全。
15 圣灵也向我们做见证，说：
16 “主说，那些日子以后，
我将与他们立这样的约，
我要把我的律例放在他们心中，
写在他们脑中。
17 我要忘记他们的过犯和罪恶。”
18 既然过犯和罪恶已经得到赦免，就不需要再为罪献祭了。
坚忍到底
19-20 弟兄姊妹，耶稣已用宝血为我们开辟了一条又新又活的路，使我们可以穿过幔子，就是祂的身体，坦然进入至圣所。 21 并且，我们有一位大祭司管理上帝的家， 22 祂洁净了我们被罪困扰的良心，用清水洗净了我们的身体。因此，我们要信心十足、真诚地到上帝面前。 23 我们要坚定不移地持守我们所认定的盼望，因为赐应许的那位是信实的。 24 我们要想办法彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。 25 不要停止聚会，像那些停止惯了的人，要互相鼓励，特别是你们知道主再来的日子近了。
26 因为我们知道了真理以后，若仍然故意犯罪，就再没有赎罪祭了， 27 只有可怕的审判和烧灭敌对者的烈火等候我们。 28 人违犯摩西的律法，经两三个人指证后，尚且被毫不留情地处死， 29 更何况人践踏上帝的儿子，轻看那使人圣洁的立约之血，又藐视赐人恩典的圣灵？这等人该受多么重的刑罚啊！ 30 我们知道上帝说过：“申冤在我，我必报应。”祂又说：“主要审判祂的百姓。” 31 落在永活上帝的手中是可怕的！
32 你们要回想当初的日子，那时你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了各种苦难的煎熬。 33 有时候，你们在众目睽睽之下被辱骂，受迫害；有时候，你们和遭受这样苦难的人同舟共济。 34 你们体恤那些坐牢的人，即使你们的家业被抢夺，仍然甘心忍受，因为你们知道自己有更美的、永远长存的家业。 35 所以切勿失去勇敢的心，因为勇敢的心会给你们带来大赏赐。 36 你们需要坚忍到底，这样你们遵行了上帝的旨意后，便可以得到祂的应许。
37 因为“将要来临的那位很快要来了，绝不迟延。 38 属我的义人必靠信心而活。他若畏缩退后，我必不喜悦他。” 39 但我们都不是退后走向灭亡的人，而是因为有信心而灵魂得救的人。
Hebrews 10
Living Bible
10 The old system of Jewish laws gave only a dim foretaste of the good things Christ would do for us. The sacrifices under the old system were repeated again and again, year after year, but even so they could never save those who lived under their rules. 2 If they could have, one offering would have been enough; the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all and their feeling of guilt would be gone.
3 But just the opposite happened: those yearly sacrifices reminded them of their disobedience and guilt instead of relieving their minds. 4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats really to take away sins.[a]
5 That is why Christ said as he came into the world, “O God, the blood of bulls and goats cannot satisfy you, so you have made ready this body of mine for me to lay as a sacrifice upon your altar. 6 You were not satisfied with the animal sacrifices, slain and burnt before you as offerings for sin. 7 Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, to lay down my life, just as the Scriptures said that I would.’”
8 After Christ said this about not being satisfied with the various sacrifices and offerings required under the old system, 9 he then added, “Here I am. I have come to give my life.”
He cancels the first system in favor of a far better one. 10 Under this new plan we have been forgiven and made clean by Christ’s dying for us once and for all.
11 Under the old agreement the priests stood before the altar day after day offering sacrifices that could never take away our sins. 12 But Christ gave himself to God for our sins as one sacrifice for all time and then sat down in the place of highest honor at God’s right hand, 13 waiting for his enemies to be laid under his feet. 14 For by that one offering he made forever perfect in the sight of God all those whom he is making holy.
15 And the Holy Spirit testifies that this is so, for he has said, 16 “This is the agreement I will make with the people of Israel, though they broke their first agreement: I will write my laws into their minds so that they will always know my will, and I will put my laws in their hearts so that they will want to obey them.” 17 And then he adds, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.”
18 Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them.
19 And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is, because of the blood of Jesus. 20 This is the fresh, new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us by tearing the curtain—his human body—to let us into the holy presence of God.
21 And since this great High Priest of ours rules over God’s household, 22 let us go right in to God himself, with true hearts fully trusting him to receive us because we have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean and because our bodies have been washed with pure water.
23 Now we can look forward to the salvation God has promised us. There is no longer any room for doubt, and we can tell others that salvation is ours, for there is no question that he will do what he says.
24 In response to all he has done for us, let us outdo each other in being helpful and kind to each other and in doing good.
25 Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.
26 If anyone sins deliberately by rejecting the Savior after knowing the truth of forgiveness, this sin is not covered by Christ’s death; there is no way to get rid of it. 27 There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible punishment of God’s awful anger, which will consume all his enemies. 28 A man who refused to obey the laws given by Moses was killed without mercy if there were two or three witnesses to his sin. 29 Think how much more terrible the punishment will be for those who have trampled underfoot the Son of God and treated his cleansing blood as though it were common and unhallowed, and insulted and outraged the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to his people.
30 For we know him who said, “Justice belongs to me; I will repay them”; who also said, “The Lord himself will handle these cases.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Don’t ever forget those wonderful days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you kept right on with the Lord even though it meant terrible suffering. 33 Sometimes you were laughed at and beaten, and sometimes you watched and sympathized with others suffering the same things. 34 You suffered with those thrown into jail, and you were actually joyful when all you owned was taken from you, knowing that better things were awaiting you in heaven, things that would be yours forever.
35 Do not let this happy trust in the Lord die away, no matter what happens. Remember your reward! 36 You need to keep on patiently doing God’s will if you want him to do for you all that he has promised. 37 His coming will not be delayed much longer. 38 And those whose faith has made them good in God’s sight must live by faith, trusting him in everything. Otherwise, if they shrink back, God will have no pleasure in them.
39 But we have never turned our backs on God and sealed our fate. No, our faith in him assures our souls’ salvation.

- Hebrews 10:4 The blood of bulls and goats merely covered over the sins, taking them out of sight for hundreds of years until Jesus Christ came to die on the cross. There he gave his own blood which forever took those sins away.
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.
