10:1

Σκιαν γαρ εχων ο νομος των μελλοντων αγαθων ουκ αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων κατ ενιαυτον ταις αυταις θυσιαις ας προσφερουσιν εις το διηνεκες ουδεποτε δυναται τους προσερχομενους τελειωσαι

For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

10:2

επει ουκ αν επαυσαντο προσφερομεναι δια το μηδεμιαν εχειν ετι συνειδησιν αμαρτιων τους λατρευοντας απαξ κεκαθαρισμενους

Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

10:3

Αλλ εν αυταις αναμνησις αμαρτιων κατ ενιαυτον

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

10:4

αδυνατον γαρ αιμα ταυρων και τραγων αφαιρειν αμαρτιας

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

10:5

Διο εισερχομενος εις τον κοσμον λεγει Θυσιαν και προσφοραν ουκ ηθελησας Σωμα δε κατηρτισω μοι

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

10:6

Ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας Ουκ ευδοκησας

In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

10:7

Τοτε ειπον Ιδου ηκω Εν κεφαλιδι βιβλιου γεγραπται περι εμου Του ποιησαι ο Θεος το θελημα σου

Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

10:8

Ανωτερον λεγων οτι Θυσιας και προσφορας και ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας ουκ ηθελησας ουδε ευδοκησας αιτινες κατα νομον προσφερονται

Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),

10:9

τοτε ειρηκεν Ιδου ηκω του ποιησαι το θελημα σου αναιρει το πρωτον ινα το δευτερον στηση

then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10:10

εν ω θεληματι ηγιασμενοι εσμεν δια της προσφορας του σωματος Ιησου Χριστου εφαπαξ

By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10:11

Και πας μεν ιερευς εστηκεν καθ ημεραν λειτουργων και τας αυτας πολλακις προσφερων θυσιας αιτινες ουδεποτε δυνανται περιελειν αμαρτιας

And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:

10:12

ουτος δε μιαν υπερ αμαρτιων προσενεγκας θυσιαν εις το διηνεκες εκαθισεν εν δεξια του Θεου

but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

10:13

το λοιπον εκδεχομενος εως τεθωσιν οι εχθροι αυτου υποποδιον των ποδων αυτου

henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.

10:14

μια γαρ προσφορα τετελειωκεν εις το διηνεκες τους αγιαζομενους

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

10:15

Μαρτυρει δε ημιν και το Πνευμα το Αγιον μετα γαρ το ειρηκεναι

And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

10:16

Αυτη η διαθηκη ην διαθησομαι προς αυτους μετα τας ημερας εκεινας λεγει Κυριος διδους νομους μου επι καρδιας αυτων και επι την διανοιαν αυτων επιγραψω αυτους

This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he,

10:17

Και Των αμαρτιων αυτων και των ανομιων αυτων ου μη μνησθησομαι ετι

And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

10:18

Οπου δε αφεσις τουτων ουκετι προσφορα περι αμαρτιας

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

10:19

Εχοντες ουν αδελφοι παρρησιαν εις την εισοδον των αγιων εν τω αιματι Ιησου

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

10:20

ην ενεκαινισεν ημιν οδον προσφατον και ζωσαν δια του καταπετασματος τουτ εστιν της σαρκος αυτου

by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

10:21

και ιερεα μεγαν επι τον οικον του Θεου

and having a great priest over the house of God;

10:22

προσερχωμεθα μετα αληθινης καρδιας εν πληροφορια πιστεως ρεραντισμενοι τας καρδιας απο συνειδησεως πονηρας και λελουσμενοι το σωμα υδατι καθαρω

let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

10:23

Κατεχωμεν την ομολογιαν της ελπιδος ακλινη πιστος γαρ ο επαγγειλαμενος

let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

10:24

και κατανοωμεν αλληλους εις παροξυσμον αγαπης και καλων εργων

and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

10:25

μη εγκαταλειποντες την επισυναγωγην εαυτων καθως εθος τισιν αλλα παρακαλουντες και τοσουτω μαλλον οσω βλεπετε εγγιζουσαν την ημεραν

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

¹

10:26

Εκουσιως γαρ αμαρτανοντων ημων μετα το λαβειν την επιγνωσιν της αληθειας ουκετι περι αμαρτιων απολειπεται θυσια

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

10:27

φοβερα δε τις εκδοχη κρισεως και πυρος ζηλος εσθιειν μελλοντος τους υπεναντιους

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.

10:28

αθετησας τις νομον Μωυσεως χωρις οικτιρμων επι δυσιν η τρισιν μαρτυσιν αποθνησκει

A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:

10:29

ποσω δοκειτε χειρονος αξιωθησεται τιμωριας ο τον Υιον του Θεου καταπατησας και το αιμα της διαθηκης κοινον ηγησαμενος εν ω ηγιασθη και το Πνευμα της χαριτος ενυβρισας

of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

10:30

Οιδαμεν γαρ τον ειποντα Εμοι εκδικησις εγω ανταποδωσω και παλιν Κρινει Κυριος τον λαον αυτου

For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

10:31

φοβερον το εμπεσειν εις χειρας Θεου ζωντος

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

10:32

Αναμιμνησκεσθε δε τας προτερον ημερας εν αις φωτισθεντες πολλην αθλησιν υπεμεινατε παθηματων

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

10:33

τουτο μεν ονειδισμοις τε και θλιψεσιν θεατριζομενοι τουτο δε κοινωνοι των ουτως αναστρεφομενων γενηθεντες

partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.

10:34

και γαρ τοις δεσμιοις συνεπαθησατε και την αρπαγην των υπαρχοντων υμων μετα χαρας προσεδεξασθε γινωσκοντες εχειν εαυτους κρειττονα υπαρξιν και μενουσαν

For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.

10:35

Μη αποβαλητε ουν την παρρησιαν υμων ητις εχει μεγαλην μισθαποδοσιαν

Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

10:36

υπομονης γαρ εχετε χρειαν ινα το θελημα του Θεου ποιησαντες κομισησθε την επαγγελιαν

For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

10:37

ετι γαρ Μικρον οσον οσον ο ερχομενος ηξει και ου χρονισει

For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.

10:38

ο δε δικαιος μου εκ πιστεως ζησεται και εαν υποστειληται ουκ ευδοκει η ψυχη μου εν αυτω

But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

10:39

Ημεις δε ουκ εσμεν υποστολης εις απωλειαν αλλα πιστεως εις περιποιησιν ψυχης

But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.
