Hebreus 10
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O sacrifício de Cristo nos torna perfeitos
10 A lei é apenas uma sombra das coisas boas que estavam para vir, e não a imagem real das coisas. É por isso que, mesmo com os sacrifícios que são oferecidos repetidamente ano após ano, a lei não pode tornar perfeitos aqueles que se aproximam para adorar. 2 Se ela pudesse, estes sacrifícios teriam parado de ser oferecidos, pois os adoradores estariam limpos de seus pecados e não se sentiriam mais culpados por causa desses pecados. 3 Estes sacrifícios, entretanto, fazem com que as pessoas se lembrem de seus pecados a cada ano, 4 pois é impossível que sangue de touros e de bodes remova pecados. 5 Por isso Cristo, ao entrar no mundo, disse:
“O Senhor não quer sacrifícios nem ofertas,
mas me preparou um corpo.
6 O Senhor não se agrada de sacrifícios de animais mortos e queimados,
ou de sacrifícios para tirar pecados.
7 Então eu disse:
‘Eu estou aqui, ó Deus;
eu vim para fazer a sua vontade,
assim como está escrito a meu respeito no Livro da Lei’”.(A)
8 Primeiro Cristo disse: “O Senhor não quer sacrifícios nem ofertas, e o Senhor não se agrada de animais mortos e queimados, ou de sacrifícios para tirar pecados”. (Estes sacrifícios são oferecidos de acordo com a lei de Moisés.) 9 Depois Cristo disse: “Eu estou aqui, ó Deus, para fazer a sua vontade”. Dessa forma Deus anula o primeiro sistema de sacrifícios para estabelecer o segundo. 10 E porque Jesus Cristo fez o que Deus quis, nós somos purificados por meio do sacrifício do corpo de Jesus, oferecido de uma vez por todas.
11 Ora, todo sacerdote se apresenta dia após dia para realizar seus serviços religiosos e para oferecer muitas vezes os mesmos sacrifícios. Mas estes sacrifícios jamais podem remover pecados. 12 Jesus, porém, depois de ter oferecido, para sempre, um único sacrifício pelos pecados, se sentou à direita de Deus.[a] 13 Ali Jesus está esperando até que seus inimigos sejam colocados sob seu poder[b]. 14 Assim, com um único sacrifício, ele aperfeiçoou para sempre aqueles que estão sendo purificados.
15 O Espírito Santo também nos dá o seu testemunho a respeito disto. Primeiro ele diz:
16 “Esta é a aliança que eu farei com eles
depois daqueles dias, diz o Senhor:
Porei as minhas leis nos seus corações,
e as escreverei nas suas mentes”.(B)
17 E depois ele diz:
“Nunca mais me lembrarei
dos seus pecados ou das suas maldades”.(C)
18 Assim, uma vez que todas estas coisas são perdoadas, não há mais necessidade de se oferecer sacrifício pelos pecados.
O privilégio de nos aproximarmos de Deus
19 Por isso, irmãos, nós temos completa liberdade para entrar no Lugar Santíssimo. E nós podemos fazer isto com toda a confiança, por causa do sangue de Jesus. 20 Nós podemos entrar através de um novo caminho, um caminho de vida, o qual Jesus nos abriu. E este caminho nos leva através da cortina, isto é, através do seu próprio corpo. 21 Nós temos um grande sacerdote que governa a família de Deus. 22 Portanto, vamos nos aproximar de Deus com coração sincero e com firmeza de fé. Nós podemos fazer isso porque nossos corações foram purificados, libertando-nos das nossas culpas, e também porque o nosso corpo foi lavado com água pura. 23 Vamos seguir firmes e sem vacilar na esperança da nossa fé, pois aquele que fez a promessa é fiel.
24 Vamos também considerar uns aos outros, a fim de nos encorajarmos a mostrar amor e a fazer o bem. 25 Não deixemos de nos reunir, como algumas pessoas estão fazendo. Ao contrário, vamos nos reunir e fortalecer uns aos outros, ainda mais agora que vocês estão vendo que o Dia se aproxima.
Não se afastem de Cristo
26 Se continuarmos a pecar de propósito, mesmo depois de termos conhecido a verdade, já não há mais sacrifício que possa tirar os pecados. 27 Ao contrário, tudo o que nos resta é o medo, ao esperarmos pelo julgamento e pelo fogo vingador que destruirá todos aqueles que estão contra Deus. 28 Se duas ou três pessoas testemunharem que um homem desobedeceu à lei de Moisés, esse homem será condenado à morte sem receber qualquer misericórdia. 29 O que acontecerá, então, com aqueles que desprezam o Filho de Deus, que desrespeitam o sangue da nova aliança, com o qual eles mesmos foram purificados, ou ainda que insultam o Espírito que nos mostra a graça de Deus? Vocês não acham que eles merecem um castigo muito mais severo? 30 Ora, nós conhecemos aquele que disse: “A mim pertence a vingança; eu retribuirei”.(D) Ele também disse: “O Senhor julgará o seu povo”.(E) 31 Que coisa horrível é cair nas mãos do Deus vivo!
Não percam a esperança que vocês têm
32 Lembrem-se daqueles dias em que vocês, depois de terem recebido a luz da verdade, tiveram que passar por grandes lutas e muitos sofrimentos. 33 Algumas vezes vocês foram maltratados e insultados publicamente; outras vezes ajudaram aos que estavam sendo tratados desse modo. 34 Vocês não somente ajudaram aos que estavam sofrendo na prisão, como também aceitaram com alegria o fato de que os seus bens tinham sido tirados de vocês. Vocês agiram assim porque sabiam que possuíam algo muito melhor: algo que dura para sempre.
35 Portanto, não abandonem a confiança que vocês têm; ela traz uma grande recompensa. 36 Vocês precisam ser perseverantes para que, depois de terem feito a vontade de Deus, recebam o que foi prometido.
37 Pois ainda dentro de pouco tempo,
“Aquele que tem de vir, virá; ele não vai demorar.
38 Viverá aquele que pela fé
for declarado justo.
Mas se ele voltar atrás
eu não ficarei contente com ele”.(F)
39 Nós, porém, não somos daqueles que, por causa do medo, voltam atrás e são destruídos. Ao contrário, nós somos daqueles que têm fé e são salvos por ela.
Hebrews 10
New King James Version
Animal Sacrifices Insufficient
10 For the law, having a (A)shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, (B)can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once [a]purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For (C)it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will(D)
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
(E)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [b]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 (F)By that will we have been [c]sanctified (G)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified
11 And every priest stands (H)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (I)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (J)at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting (K)till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [d]sanctified.
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 (L)“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, (M)“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is [e]remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
Hold Fast Your Confession
19 Therefore, brethren, having (N)boldness[f] to enter (O)the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and (P)living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us (Q)draw near with a true heart (R)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 confession of our hope without wavering, for (S)He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 (T)not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and (U)so much the more as you see (V)the Day approaching.
The Just Live by Faith
26 For (W)if we sin willfully (X)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (Y)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (Z)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (AA)witnesses. 29 (AB)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (AC)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (AD)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (AE)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [g]says the Lord. And again, (AF)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (AG)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But (AH)recall the former days in which, after you were [h]illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made (AI)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while (AJ)you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on [i]me (AK)in my chains, and (AL)joyfully accepted the plundering of your [j]goods, knowing that (AM)you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves [k]in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (AN)which has great reward. 36 (AO)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (AP)you may receive the promise:
37 “For (AQ)yet a little while,
And (AR)He[l] who is coming will come and will not [m]tarry.
38 Now (AS)the[n] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those (AT)who draw back to [o]perdition, but of those who (AU)believe to the saving of the soul.

World English Bible
10 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins. 4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
“You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering,
but you prepared a body for me.
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)
to do your will, O God.’”(A)
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law), 9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, 10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days,” says the Lord,
“I will put my laws on their heart,
I will also write them on their mind;”(B)
then he says,
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”(C)
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21 and having a great priest over God’s house, 22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord.(D) Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”(E) 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 “In a very little while,
he who comes will come and will not wait.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith.
If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”(F)
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
