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。 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。 但是这些祭物使人每年都想起罪来, 因为公牛和山羊的血不能除罪。

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。
燔祭和赎罪祭
是你不喜欢的。
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。”

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。 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。

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。 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。 然而,每年献祭的事都使人想起自己的罪来, 因为公牛和山羊的血根本不能除去人的罪。

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。
你并非喜爱燔祭和赎罪祭。
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。’”

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。 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。

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.
