Hebrews 10
Expanded Bible
10 The law is only an ·unclear picture [L shadow] of the good things coming in the future; it is not the ·real thing [reality itself; true image of them]. The people under the law offer the same sacrifices every year, but these sacrifices can never make perfect those who come near to worship God. 2 If the law could make them perfect, the sacrifices would have already ·stopped [ceased; been abolished]. The worshipers would ·be made clean [L have been cleansed/purified once for all; C forever], and they would no longer have a ·sense of [consciousness of; feeling of guilt about] sin. 3 But these sacrifices remind them of their sins every year, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 So when ·Christ [L he] came into the world, he said:
“You did not ·want [desire] sacrifices and offerings,
but you have ·prepared a body for me [or given me a body].
6 You ·did not ask for [were not pleased with; took no delight in] burnt offerings
and offerings to take away sins.
7 Then I said, ‘·Look [or Here I am; T Behold], I have come.
It is written about me in the ·book [scroll].
·God [L O God], I have come to do ·what you want [your will; Ps. 40:6–8].’”
8 In this Scripture ·he first said [or cited above he said], “You did not ·want [desire] sacrifices and offerings. You ·did not ask for [were not pleased with; took no delight in] burnt offerings and offerings to take away sins [v. 6].” (These are all sacrifices that the law ·commands [requires; prescribes].) 9 Then he said, “·Look [or Here I am; T Behold], I have come to do ·what you want [your will; v. 7].” God ·ends [abolishes; takes away] the ·first system of sacrifices [L first] so he can ·set up [establish] the ·new system [L second]. 10 And ·because of this [L by God’s will/desire/intention], we are ·made holy [sanctified; set apart to God] through the sacrifice Christ made in his body ·once and for all time [L once for all; 7:27; 9:12, 26].
11 ·Every day [Day after day] ·the priests [L every priest] stand and do their ·religious [priestly] service, ·often [again and again] offering the same sacrifices. Those sacrifices can never take away sins. 12 But after ·Christ [L this one; C this priest] offered one sacrifice for sins, forever, he sat down at the right ·side [L hand] of God [1:3, 13; Ps. 110:1a]. 13 And now ·Christ [L he] waits there for his enemies to be ·put under his power [L made a footstool for his feet; 1:13; Ps. 110:1b]. 14 With one ·sacrifice [offering] he made perfect forever those who are being ·made holy [sanctified; set apart to God].
15 The Holy Spirit also ·tells [testifies/bears witness to] us about this. First he says:
16 “This is the ·agreement [covenant; contract] I will make
with them ·at that time [L after those days], says the Lord.
I will put my ·teachings [laws] in their hearts
and write them on their minds [8:10; Jer. 31:33].”
17 Then he says:
“Their sins and ·the evil things they do [their lawless/wicked actions]—
I will not remember anymore [8:12; Jer. 31:34].”
18 Now when these have been forgiven, there is no more need for a ·sacrifice [offering] for sins.
Continue to Trust God
19 So, brothers and sisters, ·we are completely free [L since we have confidence…; C this “since” clause continues through v. 22] to enter the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things; T Holy of Holies] without fear ·because of [or by means of] the blood of Jesus’ death. 20 We can enter through a new and living way that Jesus ·opened [or restored; renewed; or inaugurated] for us. It leads through the curtain—Christ’s ·body [T flesh; C like the curtain of the Most Holy Place, Christ’s body, sacrificed for us, provides access to the presence of God]. 21 And since we have a great priest over God’s house, 22 let us come near to God with a ·sincere [true] heart and a ·sure [confident] faith, because we have ·been made free [L had our hearts sprinkled; C sacrificial blood was sprinkled on people and things to purify them] from a ·guilty [evil] conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water [C water was used in Judaism for ritual purification]. 23 Let us hold ·firmly [without wavering] to the hope that we have confessed, because ·we can trust God to do what he promised [L the one who promised is faithful].
24 Let us think about ·each other and help each other [or how to provoke/rouse/encourage each another] to show love and do good deeds. 25 You should not ·stay away from [neglect; forsake] ·the church meetings [meeting together], as some are doing [C some were abandoning Christianity and returning to Judaism], but you should encourage each other [C to stay faithful to Christ and to other believers], and even more so as you see the day coming [C the day of the Lord, when Christ will return].
26 If we ·decide to [deliberately] go on sinning after we have learned the ·truth [L knowledge of the truth], there is no longer any sacrifice for sins. 27 There is nothing but ·fear in waiting for the [a fearful/terrifying expectation/prospect of] judgment and the ·terrible [raging; furious] fire that will ·destroy [consume; devour] ·all those who live against God [the enemies of God; L those who oppose; the adversaries]. 28 Anyone who ·refused to obey [rejected; disregarded] the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the basis of the ·evidence [testimony] provided by two or three witnesses [Deut. 17:6]. 29 So how much worse punishment do you think is deserved by those who ·do not respect [trample on; show contempt for] the Son of God, who ·look at the blood of the agreement that made them holy as no different from others’ blood [L profane/treat as unholy/common the blood of the covenant], who insult the Spirit of God’s grace? 30 We know that God said, “·I will punish those who do wrong [T Vengeance is mine]; I will repay them [Deut. 32:35].” And he also said, “The Lord will judge his people [Deut. 32:36; Ps. 135:14].” 31 It is a ·terrible [dreadful; terrifying] thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 Remember those ·days in the past [or early days of your faith] when you first ·learned the truth [L were enlightened]. You ·remained strong [endured; persevered] through a hard struggle with many sufferings. 33 Sometimes you were ·hurt and attacked before crowds of people [L exposed to public shame/ridicule and persecution/oppression], and sometimes you shared with those who were being treated that way. 34 You ·helped [had sympathy for; or suffered with] the prisoners [C probably Christians imprisoned for their faith]. You even had joy when ·all that you owned [your property] was ·taken from you [seized; confiscated], because you knew you had ·something [L a possession; property] better and more lasting.
35 So do not ·lose [throw away] ·the courage you had in the past [or your confident trust in God; or your boldness], which has a great reward. 36 You must ·hold on [persevere; endure], so you can do ·what God wants [the will of God] and receive what he has promised. 37 For in a very short time [Is. 26:20],
“The One who is coming will come
and will not delay.
38 ·Those who are right with me [L My righteous one]
will live by faith.
But if they ·turn back with fear [shrink back],
·I [L My soul] will not be pleased with them [Hab. 2:3–4].”
39 But we are not those who ·turn back [shrink back] and are ·lost [destroyed]. We are people who have faith ·and are saved [leading to the possession/ preservation of life/the soul].

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
10 Ang Kautusan ay anino lang ng mabubuting bagay na darating. Kailanman ay hindi ito nakakapagpabanal sa mga taong lumalapit sa Dios sa pamamagitan ng mga handog na iniaalay nila taun-taon. 2 Dahil kung napatawad na sila sa pamamagitan ng mga handog, hindi na sana sila uusigin ng kanilang budhi, at hindi na nila kailangang maghandog pa. 3 Ngunit ang paghahandog na ginagawa nila taun-taon ay siya pang nagpapaalala sa mga kasalanan nila, 4 dahil hindi makapag-aalis ng kasalanan ang dugo ng mga toro at kambing na inihahandog nila. 5 Kaya nga, nang dumating si Jesus dito sa mundo, sinabi niya sa kanyang Ama,
“Hindi mo nagustuhan ang mga handog at kaloob ng mga tao,
kaya binigyan mo ako ng katawan na ihahandog ko.
6 Hindi ka nasiyahan sa mga handog na sinusunog at mga handog sa paglilinis.
7 Kaya sinabi ko sa iyo, ‘Narito ako para tuparin ang kalooban mo, O Dios, ayon sa nasusulat sa Kasulatan tungkol sa akin.’ ”[a]
8 Una, sinabi ni Cristo na hindi nagustuhan ng Dios ang mga handog at kaloob, at hindi siya nasiyahan sa mga handog na sinusunog at mga handog sa paglilinis kahit na ipinapatupad ito ng Kautusan. 9 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanyang Ama, “Nandito ako para sundin ang kalooban mo.” Kaya inalis ng Dios ang dating paraan ng paghahandog upang palitan ng paghahandog ni Cristo. 10 At dahil sinunod ni Jesu-Cristo ang kalooban ng Dios, nilinis niya tayo sa mga kasalanan natin sa pamamagitan ng minsang paghahandog ng sarili niya.
11 Naglilingkod ang mga pari araw-araw, at paulit-ulit na nag-aalay ng ganoon ding mga handog, na hindi naman nakapag-aalis ng kasalanan. 12 Ngunit si Cristo ay minsan lamang naghandog para sa ating mga kasalanan, at hindi na ito mauulit kailanman. Pagkatapos nito, umupo na siya sa kanan ng Dios. 13 At hinihintay na lang niya ngayon ang panahong pasukuin sa kanya ng Dios ang mga kaaway niya. 14 Kaya sa pamamagitan lang ng minsang paghahandog, ginawa niyang ganap magpakailanman ang mga pinabanal[b] niya.
15 Ang Banal na Espiritu mismo ang nagpapatotoo tungkol dito. Sapagkat sinabi niya,
16 “ ‘Ganito ang bagong kasunduan na gagawin ko sa kanila sa darating na panahon,’ sabi ng Panginoon:
‘Ilalagay ko ang aking mga utos sa puso nila at itatanim ko ang mga ito sa kanilang isipan.’ ”[c]
17 Dagdag pa niya, “Tuluyan ko nang lilimutin ang mga kasalanan at kasamaan nila.”[d] 18 At dahil napatawad na ang mga kasalanan natin, hindi na natin kailangan pang maghandog para sa ating mga kasalanan.
Lumapit Tayo sa Dios
19 Kaya mga kapatid, malaya na tayong makakapasok sa Pinakabanal na Lugar dahil sa dugo ni Jesus. 20 Sa pamamagitan ng paghahandog ng kanyang katawan, binuksan niya para sa atin ang bagong daan patungo sa Pinakabanal na Lugar na nasa kabila ng tabing. At ang daang ito ang nagdadala sa atin sa buhay na walang hanggan. 21 At dahil mayroon tayong dakilang punong pari na namamahala sa pamilya ng Dios, 22 lumapit tayo sa kanya nang may tapat na puso at matatag na pananampalataya, dahil nilinis[e] na ng dugo ni Jesus ang mga puso natin mula sa maruming pag-iisip, at nahugasan na ang mga katawan natin ng malinis na tubig. 23 Magpakatatag tayo sa pag-asa natin at huwag tayong mag-alinlangan, dahil tapat ang Dios na nangako sa atin. 24 At sikapin nating mahikayat ang isaʼt isa sa pagmamahalan at sa paggawa ng kabutihan. 25 Huwag nating pababayaan ang mga pagtitipon natin gaya ng nakaugalian na ng ilan. Sa halip, palakasin natin ang loob ng bawat isa, lalo na ngayong nalalapit na ang huling araw.
26 Sapagkat kung sasadyain pa nating magpatuloy sa paggawa ng kasalanan pagkatapos nating malaman ang katotohanan, wala nang handog na maiaalay pa para mapatawad ang mga kasalanan natin. 27 Tanging ang nakakatakot na paghuhukom at nagliliyab na apoy ang naghihintay sa mga taong kumakalaban sa Dios. 28 Ipinapapatay noon nang walang awa ang lumalabag sa Kautusan ni Moises, kapag napatunayan ng dalawa o tatlong saksi ang paglabag niya. 29 Gaano pa kaya kabigat ang parusang tatanggapin ng taong lumapastangan sa Anak ng Dios at nagpawalang-halaga sa dugo na nagpatibay sa kasunduan ng Dios at naglinis sa mga kasalanan niya? Talagang mas mabigat ang parusa sa mga taong ito na humamak sa maawaing Banal na Espiritu. 30 Sapagkat kilala natin ang Dios na nagsabi, “Ako ang maghihiganti; ako ang magpaparusa.”[f] At mayroon ding nakasulat na ganito: “Hahatulan ng Panginoon ang mga taong sakop niya.”[g] 31 Kakila-kilabot ang kahihinatnan ng mga hahatulan ng Dios na buhay.
32 Alalahanin nʼyo ang nakaraang panahon, noong una kayong naliwanagan. Dumaan kayo sa matinding hirap, pero tiniis nʼyo ito at hindi kayo nadaig. 33 Kung minsan, inaalipusta kayo at pinag-uusig sa harapan ng mga tao. At kung minsan namaʼy dinadamayan nʼyo ang mga kapatid na dumaranas ng ganitong pagsubok. 34 Dinadamayan nʼyo ang mga kapatid na nakabilanggo. At kahit inagawan kayo ng mga ari-arian, tiniis nʼyo ito nang may kagalakan dahil alam ninyong mayroon kayong mas mabuting kayamanan na hindi mawawala kailanman. 35 Kaya huwag kayong mawawalan ng pananalig sa Dios, dahil may malaking gantimpalang nakalaan para sa inyo. 36 Kailangan ninyong magtiis para masunod nʼyo ang kalooban ng Dios, at matanggap nʼyo ang ipinangako niya. 37 Sapagkat sinasabi sa Kasulatan,
“Sandaling panahon na lang at darating na siya. Hindi na siya magtatagal.
38 At mabubuhay ang taong itinuring kong matuwid dahil sa pananampalataya niya. Ngunit kung tumalikod siya sa akin, hindi ko na siya kalulugdan.”[h]
39 Ngunit hindi tayo kabilang sa mga tumatalikod sa Dios at napapahamak, kundi kabilang tayo sa mga sumasampalataya at naliligtas.
Hebrews 10
New International Version
Hebrews 10
New International Version
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) 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.(F) 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(G) 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(H) to take away sins.(I)
5 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)
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(L)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](M)
8 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. 9 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:
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,
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.
