希伯來書 10

1 律法既然是以後要來的美好事物的影子，不是本體的真象，就不能憑著每年獻同樣的祭品，使那些進前來的人得到完全。2 如果敬拜的人一次得潔淨，良心就不再覺得有罪，那麼，獻祭的事不是早就停止了嗎？3 可是那些祭品，卻使人每年都想起罪來，

4 因為公牛和山羊的血不能把罪除去。
5 所以，基督到世上來的時候，就說：“祭品和禮物不是你所要的，
你卻為我預備了身體。
6 燔祭和贖罪祭，不是你所喜悅的；
7 那時我說：‘看哪！我來了，
經卷上已經記載我的事，
　神啊！我來是要遵行你的旨意。’”
8 前面說：“祭品和禮物，燔祭和贖罪祭，不是你所要的，也不是你所喜悅的。”這些都是按照律法獻的；9 接著又說：“看哪！我來了，是要遵行你的旨意。”可見他廢除那先前的，為要建立那後來的。

10 我們憑著這旨意，藉著耶穌基督一次獻上他的身體，就已經成聖。
11 所有的祭司都是天天站著事奉，多次獻上同樣的祭品，那些祭品永遠不能把罪除去。12 唯有基督獻上了一次永遠有效的贖罪祭，就在　神的右邊坐下來。13 此後，只是等待　神把他的仇敵放在他的腳下，作他的腳凳。

14 因為他獻上了一次的祭，就使那些成聖的人永遠得到完全。
15 聖靈也向我們作見證，因為後來他說過：16 “主說：‘在那些日子以後，我要與他們所立的約是這樣：
我要把我的律法放在他們的心思裡面，
寫在他們的心上。’”
17 又說：“我決不再記著他們的罪惡，和不法的行為。”
18 這一切既然都赦免了，就不必再為罪獻祭了。勸勉和警告
19 所以，弟兄們！我們憑著耶穌的血，可以坦然無懼地進入至聖所。20 這進入的路，是他給我們開闢的，是一條通過幔子、又新又活的路，這幔子就是他的身體。21 我們既然有一位偉大的祭司治理　神的家，22 我們良心的邪惡既然被灑淨，身體也用清水洗淨了，那麼，我們就應該懷著真誠的心和完備的信，進到　神面前；23 又應該堅持我們所宣認的盼望，毫不動搖，因為那應許我們的是信實的。24 我們又應該彼此關心，激發愛心，勉勵行善。

25 我們不可放棄聚會，好像有些人的習慣一樣；卻要互相勸勉。你們既然知道那日子臨近，就更應該這樣。
26 如果我們領受了真理的知識以後，還是故意犯罪，就再沒有留下贖罪的祭品了；27 只好恐懼地等待著審判，和那快要吞滅眾仇敵的烈火。28 如果有人干犯了摩西的律法，憑著兩三個證人，他尚且得不到憐憫而死；29 何況是踐踏　神的兒子，把那使他成聖的立約的血當作俗物，又侮辱施恩的聖靈的人，你們想想，他不是應該受更嚴厲的刑罰嗎？

30 因為我們知道誰說過：
“伸冤在我，我必報應。”
又說：
“主必定審判他自己的子民。”
31 落在永活的　神手裡，真是可怕的。要忍耐行完　神的旨意
32 你們要回想從前的日子，那時，你們蒙了光照，忍受了許多痛苦的煎熬；33 有時在眾人面前被辱罵，遭患難；有時卻成了遭遇同樣情形的人的同伴。34 你們同情那些遭監禁的人；你們的家業被搶奪的時候，又以喜樂的心接受，因為知道自己有更美長存的家業。35 所以，你們不可丟棄坦然無懼的心，這樣的心是帶有大賞賜的。36 你們還需要忍耐，好使你們行完了　神的旨意，可以領受所應許的。

37 因為：
“還有一點點的時候，
那要來的就來，
並不遲延。
38 我的義人必因信得生，如果他後退，
我的心就不喜悅他。”
39 但我們不是那些後退以致滅亡的人，而是有信心以致保全生命的人。

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
