Hebrews 10
1 Just like a shadow vaguely represents the thing that it is a shadow of, the laws that God [gave Moses] only poorly represent [MET] the good things that were to come later. Those laws were not all the good things themselves that God has promised. So, by offering the same kinds of sacrifices every year, people [PRS] who approach God can never become (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
A shadow for having the law of the coming good things, not themselves the form of the things, each year with the same sacrifices which they offer to the continuous never (is able *NK(o)*) those drawing near to perfect;
2 If God had removed the guilt for having sinned of those who brought the sacrifices, they would not feel that they were still guilty. So they would certainly have stopped offering those sacrifices! [RHQ]
Otherwise not would they have ceased being offered because of none having any longer conscience of sins those serving once (cleansed! *N(K)O*)
3 But rather, the fact that they offer those sacrifices each year reminds them that they are still guilty for their sins.
But in these [there is] a reminder of sins every year;
4 The principle is that blood of animals such as bulls or goats can never remove the guilt of those who have sinned.
Impossible [it is] indeed [for the] blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins.
5 So, as [Christ] was coming into the world, he spoke [to his Father about offering himself as a sacrifice for people’s sin. The Psalmist wrote this that Christ said]: It is not sacrifices and offerings that you [(sg)] have wanted, but you have prepared for me a body [to serve you].
Therefore coming into the world He says: Sacrifice and offering not You have desired, a body however You have prepared me;
6 Animals that are completely burned up as sacrifices have not pleased you, and [other sacrifices that atone] for those who have sinned have not pleased you.
Burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin not You have delighted in;
7 Then [because of this], I said, “My God, (listen!/here I am!) I have come [here] in order to do what you want me [to do], [just like] has been written {as they have written} about me in the Scriptures.”
Then I said; Behold I have come — in [the] scroll of [the] book it has been written of Me — to do, O God, the will of You.
8 First, [Christ] said, “It is not sacrifices and offerings and animals that [the priests] have completely burned up and other [offerings to atone for] those who have sinned that you have really wanted. They have not pleased you.” [Christ said that even though] those things were offered {they offered all those things} according to the laws [God gave Moses]!
Above saying that (sacrifices *N(K)O*) and (offerings *N(K)O*) and burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin not You have desired nor You delighted in, which according to (the *k*) Law are offered,
9 Then, [concerning his offering himself as a sacrifice to atone for people’s sin], he said, “Listen! I have come [here] to do what you want me [to do]!” In that way Christ got rid of the first [way of atoning for sin], in order to establish the second [way of atoning for] sin.
then He has said; Behold I have come to do (of the God *K*) the will of You. He takes away the first that the second He may establish;
10 Because of Jesus Christ [doing what God] wanted him to do, we have been dedicated to {[he] has set us apart for} God by his offering his own body only once [as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that will not need to be repeated].
By that will sanctified we are (*k*) through the offering of the body (*k*) of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 As every [Jewish] priest stands daily [in front of the altar], he performs rituals and offers the same kind of sacrifices that could never remove [the guilt from anyone who] sinned [MTY].
And every indeed priest has stood every day ministering and the same repeatedly offering sacrifices, which never are able to take away sins;
12 But [Christ] offered a sacrifice that [will be adequate] forever, and he offered it only one time! Then he sat down [to rule] with God at the place of highest honor [MTY].
(This [One] *N(k)O*) however one for sins having offered sacrifice in perpetuity sat down at [the] right hand of God,
13 From now on, he is waiting for [God] to completely subdue [all] Christ’s enemies [MTY].
the henceforth awaiting until may be placed the enemies of Him [as] a footstool for the feet of Him.
14 By offering himself once, he has provided that those whom [God] has set apart will be eternally made (perfect/all that God intends them to be).
By one for offering He has perfected for all time those being sanctified.
15 The Holy Spirit also confirms to us [that this is true]. First the Lord says:
Bears witness now to us also the Spirit Holy; after for (to have said: *N(K)O*)
16 When the time [MTY] [when the first covenant that God made] with my people has ended, I will make a new covenant with them [MTY]. I will do like this for them: I will cause them to understand my laws and I will cause them to obey them (OR, enable them to know them sincerely).
This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after the days those, says [the] Lord, putting [the] laws of Mine into [the] hearts of them and into (the mind *N(k)O*) of them I will inscribe them;
17 Then [the Lord said]: [I will forgive them for] their [DOU] sins, and I will [consider] that they are no longer [guilty for] having sinned.
and The sins of them and the lawless acts of them certainly not (will I remember *N(k)O*) any more.
18 When [God] has forgiven someone’s sins, that person does not [need to make] any more offerings [to atone for his sin]!
Where now forgiveness of these [is], no longer no longer an offering for sin.
19 So, my fellow believers, because we [trust in what Jesus accomplished when] his own blood [flowed for us], we can confidently go into [God’s very presence] that was [symbolized] by the very holy place [in the tent] [MTY].
Having therefore, brothers, confidence for the entering to the Holy [Places] by the blood of Jesus,
20 Jesus enabled us to go into [God’s presence] by making a new and effective way. [Specifically], he [offered] his body [as a sacrifice] for us [in order that nothing would stop us] from entering [God’s presence, just like] [MET] the curtain [of the very holy place prevented people from entering God’s presence].
which He dedicated for us a way new and living through the veil, That is through the flesh of Him,
21 Christ is a great priest [who rules over us, who are] God’s people [MTY].
and [having] a priest great over the house of God,
22 [Just like the priests] were sprinkled {[as Moses] sprinkled [the priests]} [with blood] [MET] to symbolize that they were no longer guilty for having sinned, we also no longer are [guilty for having done] evil. [Just like the priests ceremonially] washed their bodies with pure water [to prepare themselves to serve God], we are allowing [God] to continually make us pure. So, we [(inc)] must approach [God] sincerely by confidently trusting [in him].
we may draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith sprinkled clean [our] hearts from a conscience evil and (having ourselves washed *N(k)O*) [our] body with water pure.
23 We must unwaveringly keep holding tight [to what we believe. Since God] faithfully [does all] he promised [to do], we must confidently expect [him to keep doing that].
We may hold fast to the confession of [our] hope firmly, faithful for [is] the [One] having promised,
24 [Since God] faithfully [does all that] he promised [to do], let us consider how each of us can motivate other believers, in order that [believers] will love each other, and in order that each one will do good things.
And we may think one another toward stirring up to love and to good works
25 We must not stop assembling ourselves [to worship the Lord], as some people have done. Instead, each one of us must encourage/exhort other believers. [Let us do that] even more since we know that the day [that the Lord will return] [MTY] is near.
not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves even as [is the] custom with some, but encouraging [one another], and so much more as much as you see drawing near the Day.
26 [We(inc) must do those things], because if we deliberately and habitually sin after we have known the true [message about Christ], no other sacrifice will remove our guilt for having sinned in that way.
[If] willingly for sin we after [we are] to receive the knowledge of the truth no longer no longer for sins remains a sacrifice,
27 Instead, we must fearfully expect that [God will] judge and angrily [punish] his enemies in a furious fire [MET].
terrifying however a certain expectation of judgment and of fire fury to devour being about the adversaries.
28 Everyone who rejected the laws [that God gave] Moses was mercilessly killed when [at least] two or three people testified that they had done that.
Having set aside anyone [the] law of Moses without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses he dies;
29 [That was severe punishment]. But [Christ] is (God’s Son/the man who is also God). His blood, by means of which [he put into effect] the new covenant, is sacred. Because of [Christ’s] [MTY] blood [flowing for us when he died], [God] freed us from our guilt. So, you can be sure [RHQ] that anyone who shows contempt for [those truths] and who insults the Spirit of God, the one who acts with kindness toward us in a way we do not deserve, deserves to be punished even worse than [those Israelis were punished] [MET]!
How much think you worse will he deserve punishment the [one] the Son of God having trampled upon and the blood of the covenant ordinary having esteemed by which he was sanctified and the Spirit of grace having insulted?
30 [We can be sure of that] (OR, [need to think about that carefully]) since we know that God said, “I myself will get revenge on those who sinned, and I will punish them as they deserve [DOU].” [Moses wrote], “The Lord will judge his people.”
We know for the [One] having said; Mine [is] vengeance, I myself will repay (says Lord; *K*) and again: Will judge [the] Lord the people of Him.
31 It will be a terrible thing if God who is all-powerful [MTY] seizes and punishes you [IDM]!
[It is] a fearful thing to fall into [the] hands of God [the] living.
32 Recall previous times when you [first] understood [MET] [the message about Christ]. You endured a hard struggle, but you [continued to trust him] when you suffered [because you believed in Christ].
do remember however the former days in which having been enlightened a great conflict you endured of sufferings,
33 At times you were publicly insulted {people publicly insulted you} and you suffered {people persecuted you}. But you showed great concern for those who were treated like that.
this indeed by revilings both and by tribulations being made a spectacle, this however partners of those thus passing through [them] having become;
34 You not only were kind to those who were in prison [because they believed in Christ], but you also accepted it joyfully when [unbelievers] took away your possessions. You accepted it because you yourselves knew very well that you have eternal possessions [in heaven] that are much better [than those that they took from you]!
Both for with the (prisoners *N(K)O*) you sympathized and the plundering of the possessions of you with joy you accepted knowing to have (in *k*) (yourselves *N(k)O*) (a better *NK(o)*) possession (in heavens *K*) and abiding.
35 So, do not become discouraged [when they cause you to suffer] {[you are persecuted]}, because [if you continue to trust in God], he will greatly reward you.
Not may throw away therefore the boldness of you, which has a great reward.
36 You must patiently continue [to trust in him] in order that, because of your doing what God wants you to do, he will give you what he has promised.
Of endurance for You have need, so that the will of God having done you may receive the promise.
37 [You must do that] since [a prophet wrote] in the Scriptures [that God said about the Messiah], In just a short time the one [I promised] would come will surely come; he will not delay coming.
Yet for A little very while, the [One] who is coming will come and not will delay.
38 But those whom I have summoned, who [act] righteously, must continually live trusting in me, because if they, in a cowardly manner, cease [to trust in me], I (will not be pleased/will be angry) with them.
The one however righteous (of Mine *NO*) by faith will live; and if he shall shrink back, not takes pleasure the soul of Mine in him.
39 But we are not ones who in a cowardly manner stop [trusting in God], with the result that God will severely punish us. Instead, we are ones who trust in him, with the result that [God] will save us [SYN] eternally.
We ourselves however not are of [those] drawing back to destruction but of faith to [the] preserving [of the] soul.
