希伯来书 10

永远的赎罪祭

1 律法只是将来美事的一个投影，并非本体的真像，所以年复一年的献祭不能使前来敬拜的人纯全。2 否则，献祭的事早已终止了，因为敬拜的人若献一次祭就能彻底得到洁净，他们就不再觉得有罪了。3 然而，每年献祭的事都使人想起自己的罪来，4 因为公牛和山羊的血根本不能除去人的罪。

5 所以，基督来到世上的时候曾说：
“上帝啊，祭物和供物非你所悦，
你为我预备了身体。

6 你并非喜爱燔祭和赎罪祭。

7 于是我说，“上帝啊，我来是要遵行你的旨意，
我的事都记在圣经上了。’”8 基督首先说：“祭物、供物、燔祭和赎罪祭都不是你想要的，也不是你喜悦的。”这些都是依照律法献上的。9 然后祂又说：“我来是要遵行你的旨意。”这样，祂废除了前者，为要设立后者。10 上帝的旨意是：耶稣基督只一次献上自己的身体便使我们永远圣洁了。

11 祭司都要天天站着供职，一次次地献上同样的祭物，只是这些祭物根本不能除罪。12 而基督一次献上自己成为永远的赎罪祭后，就坐在上帝的右边，13 等待祂的仇敌成为祂的脚凳。14 祂凭自己的一次牺牲，使那些得以圣洁的人永远纯全。

15 圣灵也向我们做见证，说：

16 “主说，那些日子以后，
我将与他们立这样的约，
我要把我的律例放在他们心中，
写在他们脑中。

17 我要忘记他们的过犯和罪恶。”18 既然过犯和罪恶已经得到赦免，就不需要再为罪献祭了。

坚忍到底

19-20 弟兄姊妹，耶稣已用宝血为我们开辟了一条又新又活的路，使我们可以穿过幔子，就是祂的身体，坦然进入至圣所。21 并且，我们有一位大祭司管理上帝的家，22 祂洁净了我们被罪困扰的良心，用清水洗净了我们的身体。因此，我们要信心十足、真诚地到上帝面前。23 我们要坚定不移地持守我们所认定的盼望，因为赐应许的那位是信实的。24 我们要彼此相顾，激发爱心，勉励行善。25 不要停止聚会，像那些停止惯了的人，要互相鼓励，特别是你们知道主再来的日子近了。

26 因为我们知道了真理以后，若仍然故意犯罪，就再没有赎罪祭了，27 只有可怕的审判和烧灭敌对者的烈火等候我们。28 人违犯摩西的律法，经两三个人指证后，尚且被毫不留情地处死，29 更何况人践踏上帝的儿子，轻看那使人圣洁的立约的血，又藐视赐人恩典的圣灵？这等人该受多么重的刑罚啊！30 我们知道上帝说过：“申冤在我，我必报应。”祂又说：“主要审判祂的百姓。”31 落在永活上帝的手中是可怕的！

32 你们要回想当初的日子，那时你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了各种苦难的煎熬。33 有时候，你们在众目睽睽之下被辱骂，受迫害；有时候，你们和遭受这样苦难的人同舟共济。34 你们体恤那些坐牢的人，即使你们的家业被抢夺，仍然甘心忍受，因为你们知道自己有更美的、永远长存的家业。35 所以切勿失去勇敢的心，因为勇敢的心会给你们带来大赏赐。36 你们需要坚忍到底，这样你们遵行了上帝的旨意后，便可以得到祂的应许。

37 圣经上说：“因为将要来临的那位很快要来了，绝不迟延。38 属我的义人必靠信心而活。他若畏缩退后，我必不喜悦他。”39 但我们都不是退后走向灭亡的人，而是因为有信心而灵魂得救的人。

Hebrews 10

Concluding Exposition: Old and New Sacrifices Contrasted

1 For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship.t2 For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so havet no further consciousness of sin?3 But in those sacrificest there is a reminder of sins year after year.4 For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.t

5 So when he came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

6 “Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight in.

7 “Then I said, ‘Here I am:tI have come – it is written of me in the scroll of the book – to do your will, O God.’”s
8 When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offeringsyou did not desire nor did you take delight in them”s (which are offered according to the law),9 then he says, “Here I am:I have come to do your will.”s He does away witht the first to establish the second.10 By his willt we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.11 And every priest stands day after dayt serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.12 But when this priestt had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hands of God,13 where he is now waitingtuntil his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.s14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.15 And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us, for after saying,t16 “This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will puttmy laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,”s17 then he says,t “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”s

18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

Drawing Near to God in Enduring Faith

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters,t since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for ust through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,s21 and since we have a great priestt over the house of God,22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings,t because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil consciences and our bodies washed in pure water.23 And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.24 And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,t

25 not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the days drawing near.t
26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,t27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a furytsof fire that will consume God’s enemies.ts28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to deatht without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.s29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt fort the Son of God, and profanest the blood of the covenant that made him holy,t and insults the Spirit of grace?30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,”s and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”s

31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But remember the former days when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened.33 At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.34 For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison,s and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainlyt had a better and lasting possession.35 So do not throw away your confidence, because itt has great reward.36 For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised.t37 For just a little longers and he who is coming will arrive and not delay.s38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, Ittake no pleasure in him.s

39 But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.t
