Hebrews 10:16-34

¹⁶This is the testament, which I shall witness to them after those days, the Lord saith, in giving my laws in(to) the hearts of them, and in the souls of them I shall above write them; (This is the covenant, about which I shall testify to them after those days, saith the Lord, in putting my laws in their hearts, and I shall write them upon their minds;)

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

¹⁸And where remission of these is, now is there none offering for sin. +Forsooth where (there) is remission of these, now is none offering for sin. (And where there is forgiveness for sins, now there is no more any need of offerings for sins.)

¹⁹Therefore, brethren, having trust into the entering of (the) holy things, in the blood of Christ, (And so brothers, having trust to enter into the Holy of Holies, by the blood of the Messiah,)

²⁰which he hallowed to us a new way (or the new way which he hath consecrated for us), 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, (and we having the Great Priest over the household of God,)

²²nigh we with very heart (or let us approach with a true 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 (or of love), 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. (Because now there is no longer any sacrifice for sins for us, we who sin willingly, or with our free will, after that we have received the knowledge of the truth.)

²⁷For why some abiding of doom is dreadful, and the (pur)suing of fire, which shall waste (his) adversaries. (But instead, only waiting for fearful Judgement, and the fire following, which shall waste all his adversaries.)

²⁸Who that breaketh Moses’ law, dieth without any mercy, by two or three witnesses (or on the evidence given 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? (then how much more do ye think, that he deserveth worse torments, who defileth the Son of God, and holdeth the blood of the covenant polluted, by which he was consecrated, or he was sanctified, and despiseth or doeth wrong to the Spirit of grace?)

³⁰For we know him that said, To me vengeance, and I shall yield (it). And again, For the Lord shall deem his people. (For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine, and I shall yield it. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.)

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

³²And have ye mind on the former days, in which ye were (en)lightened, and suffered great strife of passions. (And remember the early days, when ye were first enlightened, and struggled through great sufferings.)

³³And in the tother ye were made a spectacle by shames, and tribulations, (or by reproofs, and troubles); 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.
