Hebrews 10
1 For the lawe hauinge a schadewe of good thingis `that ben to come, not the ilke image of thingis, mai neuer make men neiyinge perfit bi the ilke same sacrifices, which thei offren without ceessing bi alle yeeris;
For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.
2 ellis thei schulden haue ceessid to be offrid, for as myche as the worschiperis clensid onys, hadden not ferthermore conscience of synne.
For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?
3 But in hem mynde of synnes is maad bi alle yeris.
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.
4 For it is impossible that synnes be doon awei bi blood of boolis, and of buckis of geet.
For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.
5 Therfor he entrynge in to the world, seith, Thou woldist not sacrifice and offryng; but thou hast schapun a bodi to me;
Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me.
6 brent sacrificis also for synne plesiden not to thee.
In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come; in the bigynnyng of the book it is writun of me, that Y do thi wille, God.
Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God.
8 He seiynge bifor, That thou woldist not sacrificis, and offringis, and brent sacrifices for synne, ne tho thingis ben plesaunt to thee, whiche ben offrid bi the lawe,
Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe)
9 thanne Y seide, Lo! Y come, that Y do thi wille, God. He doith awei the firste, that he make stidfast the secounde.
Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second.
10 In which wille we ben halewid bi the offring of the bodi of Crist Jhesu onys.
By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made.
11 And ech prest is redi mynystrynge ech dai, and ofte tymes offringe the same sacrifices, whiche moun neuere do awei synnes.
And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:
12 But this man offringe o sacrifice for synnes, for euere more sittith in the riythalf of God the fadir;
But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God,
13 fro thennus forth abidinge, til hise enemyes ben put a stool of hise feet.
And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.
14 For bi oon offring he made perfit for euere halewid men.
For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
15 And the Hooli Goost witnessith to vs; for aftir that he seide, This is the testament,
For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,
16 which Y schal witnesse to hem after tho daies, the Lord seith, in yyuynge my lawes in the hertis of hem, and in the soulis of hem Y schal aboue write hem;
This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.
17 and now Y schal no more thenke on the synnes and the wickidnessis of hem.
And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 And where remyssioun of these is, now is ther noon offring for synne.
Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.
19 Therfor, britheren, hauynge trist in to the entring of hooli thingis in the blood of Crist,
Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place,
20 which halewide to vs a newe weie, and lyuynge bi the hiling, that is to seie,
By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:
21 his fleisch, and we hauynge the greet preest on the hous of God,
And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,
22 neiye we with very herte in the plente of feith; and be oure hertis spreined fro an yuel conscience, and oure bodies waischun with clene watir,
Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,
23 and holde we the confessioun of oure hope, bowinge to no side; for he is trewe that hath made the biheeste.
And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)
24 And biholde we togidere in the stiring of charite and of good werkis; not forsakinge oure gadering togidere,
And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,
25 as it is of custom to sum men, but coumfortinge, and bi so myche the more, bi hou myche ye seen the dai neiyynge.
Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere.
26 Forwhi now a sacrifice for synnes is not left to vs, that synnen wilfuli, aftir that we han take the knowyng of treuthe.
For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,
27 Forwhi sum abiding of the dom is dreedful, and the suyng of fier, which schal waste aduersaries.
But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
28 Who that brekith Moises lawe, dieth withouten ony merci, bi tweine or thre witnessis;
He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:
29 hou myche more gessen ye, that he disserueth worse turmentis, which defouleth the sone of God, and holdith the blood of the testament pollut, in which he is halewid, and doith dispit to the spirit of grace?
Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?
30 For we knowen him that seide, To me veniaunce, and Y schal yelde. And eft, For the Lord schal deme his puple.
For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people.
31 It is ferdful to falle in to the hondis of God lyuynge.
It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.
32 And haue ye mynde on the formere daies, in which ye weren liytned, and suffriden greet strijf of passiouns.
Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions,
33 And in the `tothir ye weren maad a spectacle bi schenschipis and tribulaciouns; in an othir ye weren maad felowis of men lyuynge so.
Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from.
34 For also to boundun men ye hadden compassioun, and ye resseyueden with ioye the robbyng of youre goodis, knowinge that ye han a betere and a dwellinge substaunce.
For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance.
35 Therfor nyle ye leese youre trist, which hath greet rewarding.
Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
36 For pacience is nedeful to you, that ye do the wille of God, and bringe ayen the biheest.
For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.
37 For yit a litil, and he that is to comynge schal come, and he schal not tarie.
For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.
38 For my iust man lyueth of feith; that if he withdrawith hym silf, he schal not plese to my soule.
Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
39 But we ben not the sones of withdrawing awei in to perdicioun, but of feith in to getynge of soule.
But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.
