Hebrews 10
1 For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the real forms of those things themselves. Those who approach God can never be made perfect by the same sacrifices that the priests continually bring year after year.
Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων, κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς οὐδέποτε (δύναται *NK(o)*) τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι·
2 Otherwise, would the sacrifices not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed one time and would no longer have any consciousness of sin.
ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας ἅπαξ (κεκαθαρισμένους. *N(K)O*)
3 But with those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.
ἀλλ᾽ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν·
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας.
5 When Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me;
Διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει· θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι·
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not take pleasure.
ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας·
7 Then I said, 'See, here I am— as it is written about me in the scroll— to do your will.'”
τότε εἶπον· ἰδοὺ ἥκω, ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου.
8 First he said, “It was neither sacrifices, nor offerings, nor whole burnt offerings, nor sacrifices for sin that you desired. Nor did you take pleasure in them.” These are sacrifices that are offered according to the law.
ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι (θυσίας *N(K)O*) καὶ (προσφορὰς *N(K)O*) καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας, αἵτινες κατὰ (τόν *k*) νόμον προσφέρονται,
9 Then he said, “See, here I am to do your will.” He takes away the first practice in order to establish the second practice.
τότε εἴρηκεν· ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι (ὁ θεός *K*) τὸ θέλημά σου. ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ·
10 By that will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμὲν (οἱ *k*) διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος (τοῦ *k*) Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ.
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his service to God. He offers the same sacrifices again and again—sacrifices that can never take away sins.
Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας·
12 But when Christ offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.
(οὗτος *N(k)O*) δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ,
13 He is waiting until his enemies are made a stool for his feet.
τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us. First he said,
μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ (εἰρηκέναι· *N(K)O*)
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.
αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, λέγει κύριος, διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ (τὴν διάνοιαν *N(k)O*) αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς·
17 Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”
καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ (μνησθήσομαι *N(k)O*) ἔτι.
18 Now where there is forgiveness for these, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων, οὐκέτι οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
19 Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter into the most holy place by the blood of Jesus.
Ἔχοντες οὖν, ἀδελφοί, παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ,
20 That is the new and living way that he has opened for us through the curtain, that is, by means of his flesh.
ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,
21 Because we have a great priest over the house of God,
καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ,
22 let us approach with true hearts in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως ῥεραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς καὶ (λελουσμένοι *N(k)O*) τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ.
23 Let us also hold tightly to the confession of our hope without wavering, because God, who has promised, is faithful.
κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ, πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος,
24 Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds.
καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων
25 Let us not stop meeting together, as some have done. Instead, encourage one another more and more, and all the more as you see the day coming closer.
μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν καθὼς ἔθος τισίν, ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες, καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν.
26 For if we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, a sacrifice for sins no longer exists.
Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκέτι οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία,
27 Instead, there is only a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume God's enemies.
φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.
28 Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.
ἀθετήσας τις νόμον Μωϋσέως χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν μάρτυσιν ἀποθνῄσκει·
29 How much worse punishment do you think one deserves who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, who treated the blood of the covenant as unholy—the blood by which he was sanctified—and insulted the Spirit of grace?
πόσῳ, δοκεῖτε, χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καταπατήσας καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας;
30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay back.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα· ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω (λέγει κύριος· *K*) καὶ πάλιν· κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας θεοῦ ζῶντος.
32 But remember the former days, after you were enlightened, how you endured a great struggle in suffering.
Ἀναμιμνῄσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας, ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων,
33 You were exposed to public ridicule by insults and persecution, and you were sharing with those who went through such suffering.
τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσιν θεατριζόμενοι, τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες·
34 For you had compassion on those who were prisoners, and you accepted with joy the seizure of your possessions. You knew that you yourselves had a better and everlasting possession.
καὶ γὰρ τοῖς (δεσμίοις *N(K)O*) συνεπαθήσατε καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε γινώσκοντες ἔχειν (ἐν *k*) (ἑαυτοὺς *N(k)O*) (κρείττονα *NK(o)*) ὕπαρξιν (ἐν οὐρανοῖς *K*) καὶ μένουσαν.
35 So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἔχει μεγάλην μισθαποδοσίαν.
36 For you need patience, so that you may receive what God has promised, after you have done his will.
ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν, ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.
37 “For in a very little while, the one who is coming will indeed come and not delay.
ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονίσει.
38 My righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”
ὁ δὲ δίκαιός (μου *NO*) ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται· καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ.
39 But we are not any of those who turn back to destruction. Instead, we are some of those who have faith for keeping our soul.
ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς.
