Hebreerbrevet 10
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
10 (A) Lagen ger en skuggbild av det goda som kommer, men inte tingen i deras verkliga gestalt. Därför kan aldrig lagen genom samma offer som ständigt frambärs år efter år fullkomna dem som träder fram. 2 Annars hade man väl slutat offra? De som tjänstgör hade då redan varit renade en gång för alla och inte längre haft några synder på sitt samvete. 3 (B) Men nu ligger i offren en årlig påminnelse om synderna, 4 (C) för tjurars och bockars blod kan omöjligt utplåna synder. 5 (D) Därför säger Kristus när han träder in i världen:
Offer och gåvor ville du inte ha,
men du har berett mig en kropp.
6 Brännoffer och syndoffer
gladde dig inte.
7 Då sade jag:
Se, jag har kommit
för att göra din vilja, Gud.
I bokrullen står det skrivet om mig.[a]
8 Först säger han: Offer och gåvor, brännoffer och syndoffer ville du inte ha, de gladde dig inte, fastän de frambärs enligt lagen. 9 (E) Sedan säger han: Se, jag har kommit för att göra din vilja. Han upphäver det första för att upprätta det andra. 10 (F) Och i kraft av den viljan är vi helgade, genom att Jesu Kristi kropp har offrats en gång för alla.
11 (G) Alla andra präster står och förrättar sin tjänst dag efter dag och bär gång på gång fram samma offer som aldrig kan ta bort synderna. 12 Men Jesus har framburit ett enda syndoffer för alla tider, och han har sedan satt sig på Guds högra sida 13 (H) och väntar nu på att hans fiender ska läggas som en pall under hans fötter[b]. 14 (I) Med ett enda offer har han för all framtid fullkomnat dem som helgas.
15 Även den helige Ande vittnar om detta för oss. Först säger han:
16 (J) Detta är det förbund
som jag efter denna tid
ska sluta med dem.
Och sedan säger Herren:
Jag ska lägga mina lagar
i deras hjärtan
och skriva dem i deras sinnen,
17 och deras synder och överträdelser
ska jag aldrig mer minnas.[c]
18 Och där synderna är förlåtna behövs det inte längre något syndoffer.
Uppmuntran till tro och kärlek
19 (K) Bröder, i kraft av Jesu blod kan vi därför frimodigt gå in i det allra heligaste 20 (L) på den nya och levande väg som han öppnat för oss genom förhänget, det vill säga sin kropp. 21 (M) Vi har en stor överstepräst över Guds hus.
22 (N) Låt oss därför gå fram med ärligt hjärta i trons fulla visshet, med hjärtat renat från ont samvete och med kroppen badad i rent vatten. 23 (O) Låt oss orubbligt hålla fast vid hoppets bekännelse, för han som har gett oss löftet är trofast. 24 (P) Låt oss ge akt på varandra och sporra varandra till kärlek och goda gärningar. 25 (Q) Och låt oss inte överge våra sammankomster, så som några brukar göra, utan i stället uppmuntra varandra, och det så mycket mer som ni ser att dagen närmar sig.
Varning för avfall
26 (R) För om vi fortsätter att synda med vett och vilja efter att ha fått kunskap om sanningen, då finns det inte längre något offer för synderna, 27 (S) utan bara en fruktansvärd väntan på domen och en rasande eld som ska förtära motståndarna. 28 (T) Den som förkastar Mose lag ska utan förbarmande dö om två eller tre vittnar mot honom. 29 (U) Hur mycket strängare straff tror ni då inte den förtjänar som trampar på Guds Son, föraktar[d] det förbundsblod som har helgat honom, och som kränker nådens Ande? 30 (V) Vi känner honom som har sagt: Min är hämnden, jag ska utkräva den, och dessutom: Herren ska döma sitt folk.[e] 31 (W) Det är fruktansvärt att falla i den levande Gudens händer.
32 (X) Kom ihåg den första tiden när ljuset nådde er. Ni fick utstå hård kamp[f] och mycket lidande. 33 (Y) Dels blev ni hånade och plågade och gjorda till offentligt åtlöje, dels stod ni sida vid sida med andra som behandlades så. 34 (Z) Ni led med fångarna och accepterade med glädje att bli fråntagna era ägodelar, eftersom ni visste att ni ägde något som är bättre och bestående.
35 (AA) Så kasta inte bort er frimodighet, den ger stor lön. 36 (AB) Ni behöver uthållighet för att göra Guds vilja och få vad han har lovat. 37 (AC) För:
Ännu en kort liten tid,
så kommer han
som ska komma,
och han ska inte dröja.
38 (AD) Min rättfärdige ska leva av tro.
Men drar han sig undan,
har min själ ingen glädje
i honom.[g]
39 Men vi tillhör inte dem som drar sig undan och går förlorade, utan dem som tror och vinner sina själar.

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.

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.
