One sacrifice forever
The law is only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the reality itself. So it can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make those who come near complete. Otherwise wouldn't they have stopped being offered? Because the worshippers would have been cleansed once and for all, and would no longer have had any consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. Because it isn't possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. So when he comes into the world he says: You didn't want sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me. You took no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. Then I said, Look — I have come, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book, to do your will, God. First he says, You didn't want sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings, and took no pleasure in them — the ones offered according to the law. Then he says, Look — I have come to do your will. He takes away the first to establish the second. And by that will we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands day after day carrying out his service and offering the same sacrifices over and over, which can never take sins away. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, and from then on he waits until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. Because by one offering he has made complete forever those who are being made holy. And the Holy Spirit bears witness to us about this too. After saying, This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts and write them on their minds — he adds, And their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more. And where there is forgiveness for these, there is no more offering for sin.
Because the teaching having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices they offered year by year on and on make the ones who come to it perfect. Or else wouldn't they have stopped being offered? Because the worshippers, once cleaned, would have had no more sense of sins. But in those sacrifices there's a bringing to mind again of sins every year. Because it isn't possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. So when he comes into the world he says: Sacrifice and offering you didn't want, but a body you've got ready for me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you've had no pleasure. Then I said: Look — I come (in the scroll of the book it's written of me) to do your will, God. Above when he said: Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you didn't want or had pleasure in (that are offered by the teaching), then he said: Look — I come to do your will, God. He takes away the first, so he can set up the second. By that will we're made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily serving and offering often the same sacrifices, that can never take away sins. But this man, after he'd offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God. From then on waiting till the ones against him are made his footstool. Because by one offering he's made perfect forever the ones who are made holy. The Holy Spirit is a witness to us too. Because after he'd said before: This is the covenant I'll make with them after those days, says the Lord — I'll put my teachings into their hearts and in their minds I'll write them. And their sins and wrongdoings I'll remember no more. Now where there's forgiveness of these, there's no more offering for sin.
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

So when he comes into the world he says: You didn't want sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
So when he comes into the world he says: Sacrifice and offering you didn't want, but a body you've got ready for me.
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
You took no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you've had no pleasure.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Then I said, Look — I have come, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book, to do your will, God.
Then I said: Look — I come (in the scroll of the book it's written of me) to do your will, God.

then he said: Look — I come to do your will, God. He takes away the first, so he can set up the second.
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
And by that will we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
By that will we're made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

and from then on he waits until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.
From then on waiting till the ones against him are made his footstool.
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Because by one offering he has made complete forever those who are being made holy.
Because by one offering he's made perfect forever the ones who are made holy.
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
And the Holy Spirit bears witness to us about this too. After saying,
The Holy Spirit is a witness to us too. Because after he'd said before:
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts and write them on their minds —
This is the covenant I'll make with them after those days, says the Lord — I'll put my teachings into their hearts and in their minds I'll write them.
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
he adds, And their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.
And their sins and wrongdoings I'll remember no more.
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
And where there is forgiveness for these, there is no more offering for sin.
Now where there's forgiveness of these, there's no more offering for sin.
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Let's draw near
So then, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way he has opened for us through the veil — that is, his flesh — and since we have a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, because the one who promised is faithful. And let us think about how to spur one another on to love and good works. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encourage one another — all the more as you see the Day coming.
So, brothers, having boldness to go into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way he's made holy for us, through the curtain, that is to say, his flesh, and having a high priest over the house of God, let's come near with a true heart in full sureness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let's hold fast what we own up to without wavering. (Because the one who promised is faithful.) And let's think about each other to stir up love and good works. Not leaving off the gathering of ourselves together, the way some do. But pushing each other on — and so much the more as you see the day coming.
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Don't throw away your confidence
Because if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there is no sacrifice for sins left, only a fearful waiting for judgement and fiery anger that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who set aside the law of Moses died without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think a man deserves who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, treated the blood of the covenant that made him holy as an unholy thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? Because we know the one who said, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But remember the earlier days, when after you were enlightened you stood your ground in a hard struggle with suffering. Sometimes you were put on public display, insulted and persecuted. Sometimes you stood alongside those who were treated that way. Because you had compassion on me in my chains, and you took the seizing of your property cheerfully, knowing you had a better and lasting possession for yourselves in heaven. So don't throw away your confidence. It carries a great reward. Because you need to keep at it, so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what was promised. For in just a little while, the one who is coming will come and won't delay. Now the just will live by faith. But if any man draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him. But we aren't of those who draw back to destruction. We are of those who believe, to the saving of the soul.
Because if we sin willingly after we've got the knowledge of the truth, there stays no more sacrifice for sins. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery anger that'll eat up the ones against him. The one who looked down on Moses' teaching died without mercy under two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think he'll be counted worthy of, who's trodden underfoot the Son of God and has counted the blood of the covenant he was made holy by an unholy thing, and has done insult to the Spirit of grace? Because we know the one who's said: Paying back is mine, I'll pay back, says the Lord. And again: The Lord will judge his people. It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But bring to mind the days before, when after you were lit up you put up with a great fight of sufferings. Partly while you were made a public show both by insults and troubles, and partly while you turned into companions of the ones treated like that. Because you had pity on me in my chains and took joyfully the robbing of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you've got in heaven a better and lasting thing. So don't throw away your confidence, that's got great reward. Because you need patience — so after you've done the will of God, you could get the promise. Because yet a little while, and the one who's coming will come and won't be slow. Now the just will live by faith. But if any man pulls back, my soul won't have pleasure in him. But we aren't of the ones who pull back to ruin, but of the ones who believe to the saving of the soul.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 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? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
