Hebrews 10

1 The old law had no power to cleanse away sin. 10 But Christ did it with offering of his body once for all. 22 An exhortation to receive the goodness of God thankfully with patience and steadfast faith.
1.For the *Law having the ashadow of good things to bcome, and not the very ^image of the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, ^sanctify the comers thereunto.
2.For would they not then have ceased to have been offered, because that the offerers once purged, should have had no more conscience of sins?
3.But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again of sins every year.
4.For it is unpossible that the blood of bulls and goats should *take away sins.
5.Wherefore when he ccommeth into the world, he saith, *Sacrifice and offering thou woldest not: but a dbody hast thou ordained me.
6.In burnt offerings, and sin offerings thou hast had no pleasure.
7.Then I said, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the ebook it is written of me) that I should do thy will, ô God.
8.Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings, and sin offerings thou woldest not have, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Law)
9.Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, ô God, he taketh away fthe first, that he may stablish the gsecond.
10.By the which will we are sanctified, even by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once made.
11.And every Priest appeareth daily ministering, and oft times offreth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins:
12.But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, *sitteth for ever at the right hand of God,
13.And from hence forth tarieth, *till his enemies be made his footstool.
14.For with one offering hath hhe consecrated for ever them that are sanctified.
16.*This is the Testament that I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my Laws in their heart, and in their minds I will write them.
17.And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18.Now where iremission of these things is, there is no more koffering for sin.
19.Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Jesus we lmay be bold to enter into the Holie place
20.By the new and mliving way, which he hath prepared for us, through the vail, that is, his flesh:
21.an high Priest, over the House of God,
22.Let us draw near with a true heart in assurance of faith, nsprinkled in our hearts from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water.
23.Let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering (for he is faithful that promised)
24.And let us consider one another, to provoke unto love, and to good works,
25.Not forsaking the fellowship that we have among our selves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the oday draweth near.
26.*For if we sin pwillingly after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27.But a fearful looking for of judgement, and violent fire, which shall devour the adversaries.
28.He that despiseth Moses’ Law, dieth without mercy *under two, or three witnesses.
29.Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye shall he be worthy, which treadeth under foot the Son of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an unholie thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and qdoeth despite the Spirit of grace?
30.For we know him that hath said, *Vengeance belongeth unto me: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall rjudge his people.
31.It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
32.Now call to remembrance the days that are passed, in the which, after ye had received light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions.
33.Partly while you were made a gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions, and partly while ye became scompanions of them which were ^so tossed to and fro.
34.For both ye sorrowed with me for my bonds, and suffered with joy the spoiling of your goods, knowing in your selves how that ye have in heaven a better, and an enduring substance.
35.Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
36.For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37.For yet a very little while, and he that shall come, will come, and will not tarry.
38.*Now the just shall live by faith: but if any withdraw him self, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39.But we are not they which withdraw our selves unto perdition, but follow faith unto the conservation of the soul.

Where there remain no sins to be forgiven, there is no more sacrifice: seeing therefore that Christ’s death has washed away all sins, and does ever a fresh when sinners do repent, there can be none other sacrifice but that and it can be no more reiterate.
