Hebrews 10
1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 He proveth that the sacrifices of the Law were imperfect, 2 because they were yearly renewed. 5 But that the sacrifice of Christ is one, and perpetual, 6 he proveth by David’s testimony: 19 Then he addeth an exhortation, 29 and severely threateneth them that reject the grace of Christ. 36 In the end he praiseth patience, 38 that cometh of faith.
1 For [a]the law having the shadow of good things to [b]come, 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 impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5 [c]Wherefore when he [d]cometh into the world, he saith, (A)Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not: but a [e]body 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 book it is written of me) that I should do thy will, O God.
8 Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings, and sin offerings, thou wouldest not have, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Law.)
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God, he taketh away the [f]first, that he may stablish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified, even by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once made.
11 [g]And every Priest [h]standeth daily ministering, and ofttimes offereth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, (B)sitteth forever at the right hand of God,
13 [i]And from henceforth tarrieth, (C)till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For with one offering hath he consecrated forever them that are sanctified.
15 [j]For the holy Ghost also beareth us record: for after that he had said before,
16 (D)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 [k]no more.
18 Now where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for [l]sin.
19 [m]Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Jesus we may be bold to enter into the Holy place,
20 By the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is, his [n]flesh:
21 And seeing we have an high Priest, which is over the house of God,
22 [o]Let us draw near with a [p]true heart in assurance of faith, our [q]hearts being pure from an evil conscience,
23 And washed in our bodies with [r]pure water, 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 ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, [s]and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth near.
26 (E)For if we sin [t]willingly after that we have received and acknowledged that truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a fearful looking for of judgment, and violent fire, which shall devour the [u]adversaries.
28 [v]He that despiseth Moses’ Law, dieth without mercy (F)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 unholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?
30 [w]For we know him that hath said, (G)Vengeance belongeth unto me: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall [x]judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 [y]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 ye were made a [z]gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions, and partly while ye became [aa]companions 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 yourselves how that ye have in heaven a better, and an enduring [ab]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 [ac]little while, and he that shall come, will come, and will not tarry.
38 (H)[ad]Now the just shall live by faith: but if any withdraw himself, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not they which withdraw ourselves unto perdition, but follow faith unto the conservation of the soul.
Footnotes
- Hebrews 10:1 He preventeth a privy objection. Why then were those sacrifices offered? The Apostle answereth first touching that yearly sacrifice which was the solemnest of all, wherein (saith he) there was made every year a remembrance again of all former sins. Therefore that sacrifice had no power to sanctify: for to what purpose should those sins which are purged be repeated again, and wherefore should new sins come to be repeated every year, if those sacrifices did abolish sin?
- Hebrews 10:1 Of things which are everlasting, which were promised to the Fathers, and exhibited in Christ.
- Hebrews 10:5 A conclusion following of those things that went before, and comprehending also the other sacrifices. Seeing that the sacrifices of the Law could not do it, therefore Christ speaking of himself as of our high Priest manifested in the flesh, witnesseseth evidently that God resteth not in the sacrifices, but in the obedience of his Son our high Priest, in which obedience he offered up himself once to his Father for us.
- Hebrews 10:5 The Son of God is said to come into the world, when he was made man.
- Hebrews 10:5 It is word for word in the Hebrew text, Thou hast pierced mine ears through, that is, thou hast made me obedient, and willing to hear.
- Hebrews 10:9 That is the sacrifices, to establish the second, that is, the will of God.
- Hebrews 10:11 A conclusion, with the other part of the comparison. The Levitical high Priest repeateth the same sacrifices daily in his sanctuary: whereupon which it followeth that neither those sacrifices, neither those offerings, neither those high Priests could take away sins. But Christ, having offered one sacrifice once for the sins of all men, and having sanctified his own forever, sitteth at the right hand of the Father, having all power in his hands.
- Hebrews 10:11 At the altar.
- Hebrews 10:13 He preventeth a privy objection, to wit, that yet notwithstanding we are subject to sin and death, whereunto the Apostle answereth, that the full efficacy of Christ’s virtue hath not yet showed itself, but shall at length appear when he will at once put to flight all his enemies, with whom as yet we strive.
- Hebrews 10:15 Although there do yet remain in us relics of sin, yet the work of our sanctification which is to be perfected, hangeth upon the selfsame sacrifice which never shall be repeated: and that the Apostle proveth by alledging again the testimonies of Jeremiah, thus, Sin is taken away by the new Testament, seeing the Lord saith that it shall come to pass, that according to the form of it, he will no more remember our sins: Therefore we need now no purging sacrifice to take away that which is already taken away, but we must rather take pains, that we may now through faith be partakers of that sacrifice.
- Hebrews 10:17 Why then, where is the fire of Purgatory, and that Popish distinction of the fault and the punishment?
- Hebrews 10:18 He said well, for sin: for there remaineth another offering, to wit, of thanksgiving.
- Hebrews 10:19 The sum of the former treatise: We are not shut out now of the holy place, as the Fathers were, but we have an entrance into the true holy place (that is, into heaven) seeing that we are purged with the blood not of beasts, but of Jesus. Neither as in times past, doth the high Priest shut us out by setting the veil against us, but through the veil, which is his flesh, he hath brought us into heaven itself, being present with us, so that we have now truly an high Priest, which is over the house of God.
- Hebrews 10:20 So Christ’s flesh showeth us the Godhead as it were under a veil, for otherwise we were not able to abide the brightness of it.
- Hebrews 10:22 A most grave exhortation, wherein which he showeth how that sacrifice of Christ may be applied to us: to wit, by faith, which also he describeth, by the consequence, to wit, by sanctification of the Spirit, which causeth us surely to hope in God, and to procure by all means possible one another’s salvation, through the love that is in us one toward another.
- Hebrews 10:22 With no double and counterfeit heart, but with such an heart as is truly and indeed given to God.
- Hebrews 10:22 This is it which the Lord saith, Be ye holy, for I am holy.
- Hebrews 10:23 With the grace of the holy Ghost.
- Hebrews 10:25 Having mentioned the last coming of Christ, he stirreth up the godly to the meditation of an holy life, and cites the faithless fallers from God, to the fearful judgment seat of the judge, because they wickedly rejected him in whom only salvation consisteth.
- Hebrews 10:26 Without any cause or occasion, or show of occasion.
- Hebrews 10:27 For it is another matter to sin through the frailty of man’s nature, and another thing to proclaim war as it were to God as to an enemy.
- Hebrews 10:28 If the breach of the Law of Moses was punished by death, how much more worthy death is it to fall away from Christ?
- Hebrews 10:30 The reason of all these things is, because God is a revenger of such as despise him: otherwise he should not rightly govern his Church. Now there is nothing more horrible then the wrath of the living God.
- Hebrews 10:30 Rule or govern.
- Hebrews 10:32 As he terrified the fallers away from God so doth he now comfort them that are constant and stand strongly setting before them the success of their former fights, so stirring them up to a sure hope of a full and ready victory.
- Hebrews 10:33 You were brought forth to be ashamed.
- Hebrews 10:33 In taking their miseries, to be your miseries.
- Hebrews 10:34 Goods and riches.
- Hebrews 10:37 He will come within this very little while.
- Hebrews 10:38 He commendeth the excellency of a sure faith by the effect, because it is the only way to life, which sentence he setteth forth and amplifieth by setting the contrary against it.
希伯來書 10
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
律法是將來美事的影兒
10 律法既是將來美事的影兒，不是本物的真像，總不能藉著每年常獻一樣的祭物，叫那近前來的人得以完全。 2 若不然，獻祭的事豈不早已止住了嗎？因為禮拜的人，良心既被潔淨，就不再覺得有罪了。 3 但這些祭物是叫人每年想起罪來， 4 因為公牛和山羊的血斷不能除罪。 5 所以，基督到世上來的時候就說：「神啊，祭物和禮物是你不願意的，你曾給我預備了身體。 6 燔祭和贖罪祭是你不喜歡的。 7 那時我說：『神啊，我來了，為要照你的旨意行，我的事在經卷上已經記載了。』」 8 以上說：「祭物和禮物，燔祭和贖罪祭，是你不願意的，也是你不喜歡的。」這都是按著律法獻的。 9 後又說：「我來了為要照你的旨意行。」可見他是除去在先的，為要立定在後的。 10 我們憑這旨意，靠耶穌基督只一次獻上他的身體，就得以成聖。 11 凡祭司天天站著侍奉神，屢次獻上一樣的祭物，這祭物永不能除罪。 12 但基督獻了一次永遠的贖罪祭，就在神的右邊坐下了， 13 從此等候他仇敵成了他的腳凳。 14 因為他一次獻祭，便叫那得以成聖的人永遠完全。 15 聖靈也對我們作見證，因為他既已說過： 16 「主說：『那些日子以後，我與他們所立的約乃是這樣：我要將我的律法寫在他們心上，又要放在他們的裡面』」， 17 以後就說：「我不再記念他們的罪愆和他們的過犯。」 18 這些罪過既已赦免，就不用再為罪獻祭了。
當存誠心和充足的信心來到神面前
19 弟兄們，我們既因耶穌的血得以坦然進入至聖所， 20 是藉著他給我們開了一條又新又活的路，從幔子經過，這幔子就是他的身體； 21 又有一位大祭司治理神的家， 22 並我們心中天良的虧欠已經灑去，身體用清水洗淨了，就當存著誠心和充足的信心來到神面前。 23 也要堅守我們所承認的指望，不致搖動，因為那應許我們的是信實的。 24 又要彼此相顧，激發愛心，勉勵行善。 25 你們不可停止聚會，好像那些停止慣了的人，倒要彼此勸勉；既知道[a]那日子臨近，就更當如此。
警戒故意犯罪
26 因為我們得知真道以後，若故意犯罪，贖罪的祭就再沒有了， 27 唯有戰懼等候審判和那燒滅眾敵人的烈火。 28 人干犯摩西的律法，憑兩三個見證人，尚且不得憐恤而死； 29 何況人踐踏神的兒子，將那使他成聖之約的血當做平常，又褻慢施恩的聖靈，你們想，他要受的刑罰該怎樣加重呢！ 30 因為我們知道誰說「申冤在我，我必報應」，又說「主要審判他的百姓」。 31 落在永生神的手裡，真是可怕的！
義人必因信得生
32 你們要追念往日蒙了光照以後，所忍受大爭戰的各樣苦難。 33 一面被毀謗，遭患難，成了戲景叫眾人觀看；一面陪伴那些受這樣苦難的人。 34 因為你們體恤了那些被捆鎖的人，並且你們的家業被人搶去，也甘心忍受，知道自己有更美、長存的家業。 35 所以，你們不可丟棄勇敢的心，存這樣的心必得大賞賜。 36 你們必須忍耐，使你們行完了神的旨意，就可以得著所應許的。 37 「因為還有一點點時候，那要來的就來，並不遲延。 38 只是義人[b]必因信得生；他若退後，我心裡就不喜歡他。」 39 我們卻不是退後入沉淪的那等人，乃是有信心以致靈魂得救的人。

Hebrews 10
Wycliffe Bible
10 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not that image of things, may never make men approaching perfect by those same sacrifices, which they offer without ceasing by all years; [Forsooth the law having shadow of goods to come, not that image of things, by all years by those same hosts, which they offer without ceasing, never may make men coming nigh perfect;]
2 else they should have ceased to be offered, for as much as the worshippers cleansed once, had not furthermore conscience of sin [had no conscience of sin furthermore].
3 But in them [by oft offering] mind of sins is made by all years.
4 For it is impossible that sins be done away by blood of bulls, and of bucks of goats.
5 Therefore he entering into the world, saith, Thou wouldest not sacrifice and offering; but thou hast shaped a body to me;
6 [and] burnt sacrifices also for sin pleased not to thee.
7 Then I said, Lo! I come; in the beginning of the book it is written of me, that I do thy will, [thou] God.
8 He saying before, That thou wouldest not sacrifices, and offerings, and burnt sacrifices for sin [He above saying, or before, For thou wouldest not hosts, and offerings, and burnt sacrifices, for sin], nor those things be pleasant to thee, which be offered by the law,
9 then I said, Lo! I come, that I do thy will, God. He doeth away the first, that he make steadfast the second.
10 In which will we be hallowed by the offering of the body of Christ Jesus once.
11 And each priest is ready ministering each day, and oft times offering the same sacrifices, which be never able to do away sins.[a]
12 But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for evermore sitteth in the right half of God the Father [for evermore sitteth on the right half of God the Father];
13 from thenceforth abiding, till his enemies be put a stool of his feet [till his enemies be put a stool under his feet].
14 For by one offering he made perfect for ever hallowed men.
15 And the Holy Ghost witnesseth to us; for after that he said [forsooth afterward he said],
16 This is the testament, which I shall witness to them after those days, the Lord saith [saith the Lord], in giving my laws in the hearts of them, and in the souls of them I shall above write them;
17 and now I shall no more think on the sins and the wickedness of them [and wickednesses of them].
18 And where remission of these is, now is there none offering for sin.
19 Therefore, brethren, having trust into the entering of holy things in the blood of Christ,
20 which [he] hallowed to us a new way, and living by the covering [by a veil, or covering], that is to say, his flesh,
22 approach we with very heart in the plenty of faith [nigh we with very heart in the plenty of faith]; and be our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with clean water,
23 and hold we the confession of our hope, bowing to no side [hold we the confession of our hope unbowing, unpliable]; for he is true that hath made the promise.
24 And behold we together in the stirring of charity and of good works;
25 not forsaking our gathering together, as it is the custom to some men, but comforting [them], and by so much the more, by how much ye see the day approaching.[b]
26 For why now a sacrifice for sins is not left to us, that sin willfully, after that we have taken the knowing of truth. [Forsooth to us sinning willfully, after the knowing of truth taken, now an host for sins is not left.]
27 For why some abiding of doom is dreadful, and the following of fire, which shall waste adversaries.
28 Who that breaketh Moses' law, dieth without any mercy, by two or three witnesses;
29 how much more guess ye, that he deserveth worse torments [him to deserve worse torments], which defouleth the Son of God, and holdeth the blood of the testament polluted, in which he is hallowed, and doeth despite [and shall do wrong, or despite,] to the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that said, To me vengeance, and I shall yield. And again, For the Lord shall deem his people.
31 It is fearedful to fall into the hands of God living.[c]
32 And have ye mind on the former days, in which ye were lightened, and suffered great strife of passions [in which ye lightened sustained great strife, or fight, of passions].
33 And in the tother ye were made a spectacle by shames and tribulations; in another ye were made fellows of men living so. [And soothly in the tother ye were made a spectacle by reproofs and tribulations; in the tother forsooth ye be made fellows of men living so.]
34 For also to bound men ye had compassion, and ye received with joy the robbing of your goods, knowing that ye have a better and a dwelling substance [and ye received with joy the raven of your goods, knowing you to have a better and dwelling substance].
35 Therefore do not ye lose your trust, which hath great rewarding.
36 For patience is needful to you, that ye do the will of God, and bring again the promise [that ye doing the will of God, bring again the promise].
37 For yet a little, and he that is to come shall come, and he shall not tarry.
38 For my just man liveth of faith; that if he withdraweth himself, he shall not please to my soul.
39 But we be not the sons of withdrawing away into perdition, but of faith into [the] getting of soul.
