¹For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not that image of things, may never make men nighing or coming nigh perfect by those same sacrifices, which they offer without ceasing by all years;

²else they should have ceased to be offered, for as much as the worshippers cleansed once, had not furthermore conscience of sin.

³But in them by oft offering, mind of sins is made by all years.

⁴For it is impossible that sins be done away by blood of bulls, and of bucks of goats.

⁵Therefore he entering into the world, saith, Thou wouldest not sacrifice and offering; but thou hast shaped a body to me;

⁶and burnt sacrifices also for sin pleased not to thee.

⁷Then I said, Lo! I come; in the beginning of the book it is written of me, that I do thy will, God.

⁸He saying before, That thou wouldest not sacrifices, and offerings, and burnt sacrifices for sin, nor those things be pleasant to thee, which be offered by the law,

⁹then I said, Lo! I come, that I do thy will, God. He doeth away the first, that he make steadfast the second.

¹⁰In which will we be hallowed by the offering of the body of Christ Jesus once.

¹¹And each priest is ready ministering each day, and oft times offering the same sacrifices, which may never do away sins.

¹²But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for evermore sitteth in or on the right half of God the Father;

¹³from thenceforth abiding, till his enemies be put a stool of or under his feet.

¹⁴For by one offering he made perfect for evermore hallowed men.

¹⁵And the Holy Ghost witnesseth to us; for after that he said,

¹⁶This is the testament, which I shall witness to them after those days, the Lord saith, in giving my laws in the hearts of them, and in the souls of them I shall above write them;

¹⁷and now I shall no more think on the sins and the wickedness of them.

¹⁸And where remission of these is, now is there none offering for sin.

¹⁹Therefore, brethren, having trust into the entering of holy things, in the blood of Christ,

²⁰which he hallowed to us a new way, and living by the covering or by a veil, that is to say, his flesh,

²¹and we having the great priest on the house of God,

²²nigh 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,

²³and hold we the confession of our hope, bowing to no side, or unbowing, or unpliable; for he is true that hath made the promise.

²⁴And behold we together in the stirring of charity, and of good works;

²⁵not 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 nighing.

²⁶For why now a sacrifice for sins is not left to us, that sin willfully, after that we have taken the knowing of truth.

²⁷For why some abiding of doom is dreadful, and the pursuing of fire, which shall waste adversaries.

²⁸Who that breaketh Moses’ law, dieth without any mercy, by two or three witnesses;

²⁹how much more guess ye, that he deserveth worse torments, which defouleth the Son of God, and holdeth the blood of the testament polluted, in which he is hallowed, and doeth despite or wrong to the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that said, To me vengeance, and I shall yield. And again, For the Lord shall deem his people.

³¹It is fearedful to fall into the hands of God living. +It is fearful to fall into the hands of living God.

³²And have ye mind on the former days, in which ye were enlightened, and suffered great strife of passions.

³³And in the tother ye were made a spectacle by shames, and tribulations; in another ye were made fellows of men living so.

³⁴For 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.

³⁵Therefore do not ye lose your trust, which hath great rewarding.

³⁶For patience is needful to you, that ye do the will of God, and bring again the promise.

³⁷For yet a little, and he that is to come shall come, and he shall not tarry.

³⁸For my just man liveth of faith; that if he withdraweth himself, he shall not please to my soul.

³⁹But we be not the sons of withdrawing away into perdition, but of faith into the getting of soul.
