更美之约的大祭司
8 我们所讲的要点是：我们有这样一位大祭司，祂现在已经坐在天上至高上帝的宝座右边， 2 并在圣所里供职。这圣所就是真正的圣幕，不是人建立的，而是主亲手建立的。 3 所有的大祭司都是为了向上帝献礼物和祭物而设立的，因此我们这位大祭司也必须有所献上。 4 祂如果是在地上，根本不会做祭司，因为地上已经有照律法向上帝献礼物的祭司了。 5 这些祭司的事奉都是仿效和反映天上的事，正如摩西建圣幕的时候，上帝指示他说：
“你务要照着在山上指示你的样式造各样的器具。”
6 但如今，基督得到了一个更超越的职任，正如祂担任了更美之约的中保，这约是根据更美的应许所立的。 7 因为如果第一个约没有缺点，就不必另立新约了。 8 然而，上帝指责祂的百姓，说：
“看啊，时候将到，
我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约，
9 这约不同于我与他们祖先所立的约，
就是我牵着他们祖先的手领他们离开埃及时所立的。
因为他们不持守我的约，
所以我不再理会他们。
这是主说的。
10 主又说，那些日子以后，
我将与以色列家立这样的约，
我要把我的律法放在他们脑中，
写在他们心上。
我要做他们的上帝，
他们要做我的子民。
11 谁都无需再教导自己的邻居和弟兄，
说，‘你要认识主。’
因为他们无论尊卑都必认识我。
12 我要赦免他们的过犯，
忘掉他们的罪恶。”
13 上帝既然说要立新约，就是把以前的约当作旧的了，那渐渐过时、陈旧的东西很快就会消失。
旧约敬拜的礼仪
9 旧约有敬拜的礼仪和地上的圣幕。 2 建成后的圣幕共分两间，外面的一间称为圣所，摆设了灯台、桌子和圣饼。 3 在第二道幔子后面的那一间叫至圣所， 4 里面有纯金的香坛和包金的约柜。约柜里珍藏着盛吗哪的金罐、亚伦那根发过芽的手杖和两块刻着十诫的石版， 5 上面有荣耀的基路伯天使，高展翅膀盖着约柜上面的施恩座。关于这些事，现在不能一一细说。
6 这些东西都齐备了，祭司们便经常进入圣所，举行敬拜。 7 可是，只有大祭司有资格每年一次独自进入至圣所，而且每次都要端着血进去，为自己和以色列人的过犯献上。 8 圣灵借此指明，只要头一个圣幕还在，进入至圣所的路就还没有开启。 9 这件事是一个象征，告诉现今的世代：所献的礼物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人良心纯全， 10 因为这些不过是关于饮食和各样洁净礼仪的外在规条，等新秩序的时代一到，便不再有效了。
美好新约
11 现在基督已经来到，做了美好新约的大祭司，祂进入了那更伟大、更全备、非人手建造、不属于这个世界的圣幕。 12 祂只进入至圣所一次便完成了永远的救赎，用的不是山羊和牛犊的血，而是自己的血。 13 如果把山羊血、公牛血和母牛犊的灰洒在污秽的人[a]身上，就可以使他们圣洁，身体得到洁净， 14 更何况基督借着永恒的灵把自己毫无瑕疵地献给上帝呢？祂的血岂不更能洗净我们的良心，使我们脱离导致灭亡的行为，以便事奉永活的上帝吗？
15 因此，祂是新约的中保，借着死亡救赎了触犯旧约的人，好叫那些蒙召的人得到所应许的永恒基业。
16 凡是遗嘱[b]，必须等到立遗嘱的人死了以后才能生效。 17 如果立遗嘱的人依然健在，遗嘱就不能生效。 18 正因如此，连立旧约也需要用血才能生效。 19 摩西依照律法向犹太人颁布所有诫命之后，便用红色的羊毛和牛膝草蘸了牛犊和山羊的血以及水，洒在律法书和百姓身上， 20 说：“这是上帝用来与你们立约的血。” 21 他又照样把血洒在圣幕和所有用来献祭的器具上。 22 根据律法，几乎所有的器具都要用血来洁净，因为若不流血，罪就得不到赦免。
23 既然仿照天上的样式所造的器具需要用祭牲的血来洁净，天上的原物当然要用更美的祭物来洁净。 24 因为基督并非进入了人手所造的圣所，那只是真圣所的缩影，祂是进入了天堂，替我们来到上帝面前。 25 祂在天上不必一次又一次地把自己献上，好像那些大祭司年年都带着牛羊的血进入至圣所。 26 否则，自创世以来，祂不知道要受难多少次了。但如今在这世代的末期，祂只一次献上自己，便除去了人的罪。 27 按着定命，人人都有一死，死后还有审判。 28 同样，基督为了承担世人的罪，也曾一次献上自己。祂还要再来，不是来除罪，而是来拯救那些热切等候祂的人。
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。 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。

更美之約的大祭司
8 我們所講的要點是：我們有這樣一位大祭司，祂現在已經坐在天上至高上帝的寶座右邊， 2 並在聖所裡供職。這聖所就是真正的聖幕，不是人建立的，而是主親手建立的。 3 所有的大祭司都是為了向上帝獻禮物和祭物而設立的，因此我們這位大祭司也必須有所獻上。 4 祂如果是在地上，根本不會做祭司，因為地上已經有照律法向上帝獻禮物的祭司了。 5 這些祭司的事奉都是仿效和反映天上的事，正如摩西建聖幕的時候，上帝指示他說：
「你務要照著在山上指示你的樣式造各樣的器具。」
6 但如今，基督得到了一個更超越的職任，正如祂擔任了更美之約的中保，這約是根據更美的應許所立的。 7 因為如果第一個約沒有缺點，就不必另立新約了。 8 然而，上帝指責祂的百姓，說：
「看啊，時候將到，
我要與以色列家和猶大家另立新約，
9 這約不同於我與他們祖先所立的約，
就是我牽著他們祖先的手領他們離開埃及時所立的。
因為他們不持守我的約，
所以我不再理會他們。
這是主說的。
10 主又說，那些日子以後，
我將與以色列家立這樣的約，
我要把我的律法放在他們腦中，
寫在他們心上。
我要作他們的上帝，
他們要作我的子民。
11 誰都無需再教導自己的鄰居和弟兄，
說，『你要認識主。』
因為他們無論尊卑都必認識我。
12 我要赦免他們的過犯，
忘掉他們的罪惡。」
13 上帝既然說要立新約，就是把以前的約當作舊的了，那漸漸過時、陳舊的東西很快就會消失。
舊約敬拜的禮儀
9 舊約有敬拜的禮儀和地上的聖幕。 2 建成後的聖幕共分兩間，外面的一間稱為聖所，擺設了燈臺、桌子和聖餅。 3 在第二道幔子後面的那一間叫至聖所， 4 裡面有純金的香壇和包金的約櫃。約櫃裡珍藏著盛嗎哪的金罐、亞倫那根發過芽的手杖和兩塊刻著十誡的石版， 5 上面有榮耀的基路伯天使，高展翅膀蓋著約櫃上面的施恩座。關於這些事，現在不能一一細說。
6 這些東西都齊備了，祭司們便經常進入聖所，舉行敬拜。 7 可是，只有大祭司有資格每年一次獨自進入至聖所，而且每次都要端著血進去，為自己和以色列人的過犯獻上。 8 聖靈藉此指明，只要頭一個聖幕還在，進入至聖所的路就還沒有開啟。 9 這件事是一個象徵，告訴現今的世代：所獻的禮物和祭物都不能使敬拜的人良心純全， 10 因為這些不過是關於飲食和各樣潔淨禮儀的外在規條，等新秩序的時代一到，便不再有效了。
美好新約
11 現在基督已經來到，作了美好新約的大祭司，祂進入了那更偉大、更全備、非人手建造、不屬於這個世界的聖幕。 12 祂只進入至聖所一次便完成了永遠的救贖，用的不是山羊和牛犢的血，而是自己的血。 13 如果把山羊血、公牛血和母牛犢的灰灑在污穢的人[a]身上，就可以使他們聖潔，身體得到潔淨， 14 更何況基督藉著永恆的靈把自己毫無瑕疵地獻給上帝呢？祂的血豈不更能洗淨我們的良心，使我們脫離導致滅亡的行為，以便事奉永活的上帝嗎？
15 因此，祂是新約的中保，藉著死亡救贖了觸犯舊約的人，好叫那些蒙召的人得到所應許的永恆基業。
16 凡是遺囑[b]，必須等到立遺囑的人死了以後才能生效。 17 如果立遺囑的人依然健在，遺囑就不能生效。 18 正因如此，連立舊約也需要用血才能生效。 19 摩西依照律法向猶太人頒佈所有誡命之後，便用紅色的羊毛和牛膝草蘸了牛犢和山羊的血以及水，灑在律法書和百姓身上， 20 說：「這是上帝用來與你們立約的血。」 21 他又照樣把血灑在聖幕和所有用來獻祭的器具上。 22 根據律法，幾乎所有的器具都要用血來潔淨，因為若不流血，罪就得不到赦免。
23 既然仿照天上的樣式所造的器具需要用祭牲的血來潔淨，天上的原物當然要用更美的祭物來潔淨。 24 因為基督並非進入了人手所造的聖所，那只是真聖所的縮影，祂是進入了天堂，替我們來到上帝面前。 25 祂在天上不必一次又一次地把自己獻上，好像那些大祭司年年都帶著牛羊的血進入至聖所。 26 否則，自創世以來，祂不知道要受難多少次了。但如今在這世代的末期，祂只一次獻上自己，便除去了人的罪。 27 按著定命，人人都有一死，死後還有審判。 28 同樣，基督為了承擔世人的罪，也曾一次獻上自己。祂還要再來，不是來除罪，而是來拯救那些熱切等候祂的人。
永遠的贖罪祭
10 律法只是將來美事的一個投影，並非本體的真像，所以年復一年的獻祭不能使前來敬拜的人純全。 2 否則，獻祭的事早已終止了，因為敬拜的人若獻一次祭就能徹底得到潔淨，他們就不再覺得有罪了。 3 然而，每年獻祭的事都使人想起自己的罪來， 4 因為公牛和山羊的血根本不能除去人的罪。
5 所以，基督來到世上的時候曾說：
「上帝啊，祭物和供物非你所悅，
你為我預備了身體。
6 你並非喜愛燔祭和贖罪祭。
7 於是我說，
『上帝啊，我來是要遵行你的旨意，
我的事都記在聖經上了。』」
8 基督首先說：「祭物、供物、燔祭和贖罪祭都不是你想要的，也不是你喜悅的。」這些都是依照律法獻上的。 9 然後祂又說：「我來是要遵行你的旨意。」這樣，祂廢除了前者，為要設立後者。 10 上帝的旨意是：耶穌基督只一次獻上自己的身體，便使我們永遠聖潔了。
11 祭司都要天天站著供職，一次次地獻上同樣的祭物，只是這些祭物根本不能除罪。 12 而基督一次獻上自己成為永遠的贖罪祭後，就坐在上帝的右邊， 13 等待祂的仇敵成為祂的腳凳。 14 祂憑自己的一次犧牲，使那些得以聖潔的人永遠純全。
15 聖靈也向我們做見證，說：
16 「主說，那些日子以後，
我將與他們立這樣的約，
我要把我的律例放在他們心中，
寫在他們腦中。
17 我要忘記他們的過犯和罪惡。」
18 既然過犯和罪惡已經得到赦免，就不需要再為罪獻祭了。
堅忍到底
19-20 弟兄姊妹，耶穌已用寶血為我們開闢了一條又新又活的路，使我們可以穿過幔子，就是祂的身體，坦然進入至聖所。 21 並且，我們有一位大祭司管理上帝的家， 22 祂潔淨了我們被罪困擾的良心，用清水洗淨了我們的身體。因此，我們要信心十足、真誠地到上帝面前。 23 我們要堅定不移地持守我們所認定的盼望，因為賜應許的那位是信實的。 24 我們要想辦法彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。 25 不要停止聚會，像那些停止慣了的人，要互相鼓勵，特別是你們知道主再來的日子近了。
26 因為我們知道了真理以後，若仍然故意犯罪，就再沒有贖罪祭了， 27 只有可怕的審判和燒滅敵對者的烈火等候我們。 28 人違犯摩西的律法，經兩三個人指證後，尚且被毫不留情地處死， 29 更何況人踐踏上帝的兒子，輕看那使人聖潔的立約之血，又藐視賜人恩典的聖靈？這等人該受多麼重的刑罰啊！ 30 我們知道上帝說過：「伸冤在我，我必報應。」祂又說：「主要審判祂的百姓。」 31 落在永活上帝的手中是可怕的！
32 你們要回想當初的日子，那時你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了各種苦難的煎熬。 33 有時候，你們在眾目睽睽之下被辱駡，受迫害；有時候，你們和遭受這樣苦難的人同舟共濟。 34 你們體恤那些坐牢的人，即使你們的家業被搶奪，仍然甘心忍受，因為你們知道自己有更美的、永遠長存的家業。 35 所以切勿失去勇敢的心，因為勇敢的心會給你們帶來大賞賜。 36 你們需要堅忍到底，這樣你們遵行了上帝的旨意後，便可以得到祂的應許。
37 因爲「將要來臨的那位很快要來了，絕不遲延。 38 屬我的義人必靠信心而活。他若畏縮退後，我必不喜悅他。」 39 但我們都不是退後走向滅亡的人，而是因為有信心而靈魂得救的人。
Hebrews 8-10
New International Version
Hebrews 8-10
New International Version
The High Priest of a New Covenant
8 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest,(A) who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,(B) 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(C) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 Every high priest(D) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(E) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(F) 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(G) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(H) and shadow(I) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(J) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](K) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(L) of which he is mediator(M) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(N) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[b]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(O)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(P)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(Q) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(R)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(S)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(T)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(U)”[c](V)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(W) he has made the first one obsolete;(X) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
Worship in the Earthly Tabernacle
9 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.(Y) 2 A tabernacle(Z) was set up. In its first room were the lampstand(AA) and the table(AB) with its consecrated bread;(AC) this was called the Holy Place.(AD) 3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,(AE) 4 which had the golden altar of incense(AF) and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.(AG) This ark contained the gold jar of manna,(AH) Aaron’s staff that had budded,(AI) and the stone tablets of the covenant.(AJ) 5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory,(AK) overshadowing the atonement cover.(AL) But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly(AM) into the outer room to carry on their ministry. 7 But only the high priest entered(AN) the inner room,(AO) and that only once a year,(AP) and never without blood,(AQ) which he offered for himself(AR) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(AS) 8 The Holy Spirit was showing(AT) by this that the way(AU) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration(AV) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(AW) were not able to clear the conscience(AX) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(AY) and drink(AZ) and various ceremonial washings(BA)—external regulations(BB) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(BC) of the good things that are now already here,[d](BD) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(BE) that is not made with human hands,(BF) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(BG) but he entered the Most Holy Place(BH) once for all(BI) by his own blood,(BJ) thus obtaining[e] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(BK) and the ashes of a heifer(BL) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(BM) offered himself(BN) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(BO) from acts that lead to death,[f](BP) so that we may serve the living God!(BQ)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(BR) of a new covenant,(BS) that those who are called(BT) may receive the promised(BU) eternal inheritance(BV)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(BW)
16 In the case of a will,[g] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(BX) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(BY) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(BZ) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(CA) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[h](CB) 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,(CC) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(CD)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(CE) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;(CF) he entered heaven itself,(CG) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(CH) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(CI) every year with blood that is not his own.(CJ) 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.(CK) But he has appeared(CL) once for all(CM) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.(CN) 27 Just as people are destined to die once,(CO) and after that to face judgment,(CP) 28 so Christ was sacrificed once(CQ) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,(CR) not to bear sin,(CS) but to bring salvation(CT) to those who are waiting for him.(CU)
Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All
10 The law is only a shadow(CV) of the good things(CW) that are coming—not the realities themselves.(CX) For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect(CY) those who draw near to worship.(CZ) 2 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.(DA) 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(DB) 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(DC) to take away sins.(DD)
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(DE) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(DF)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(DG)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[i](DH)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(DI)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(DJ) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(DK) through the sacrifice of the body(DL) of Jesus Christ once for all.(DM)
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(DN) which can never take away sins.(DO) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(DP) he sat down at the right hand of God,(DQ) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(DR) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(DS) forever those who are being made holy.(DT)
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(DU) 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.”[j](DV)
17 Then he adds:
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(DX) to enter the Most Holy Place(DY) by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way(DZ) opened for us through the curtain,(EA) that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest(EB) over the house of God,(EC) 22 let us draw near to God(ED) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(EE) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(EF) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(EG) 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(EH) we profess,(EI) for he who promised is faithful.(EJ) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(EK) 25 not giving up meeting together,(EL) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(EM)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(EN)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning(EO) after we have received the knowledge of the truth,(EP) no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire(EQ) 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.(ER) 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God(ES) underfoot,(ET) who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant(EU) that sanctified them,(EV) and who has insulted the Spirit(EW) of grace?(EX) 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[l](EY) and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”[m](EZ) 31 It is a dreadful thing(FA) to fall into the hands(FB) of the living God.(FC)
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(FD) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(FE) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(FF) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(FG) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(FH) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(FI) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(FJ) it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere(FK) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(FL) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[o] one will live by faith.(FO)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[p](FP)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
