- 1For 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.Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς οὐδέποτε ⸀δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι
- 2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας ἅπαξ ⸀κεκαθαρισμένους
- 3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.ἀλλ’ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ’ ἐνιαυτόν
- 4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας
- 5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει Θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι
- 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας
- 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.τότε εἶπον Ἰδοὺ ἥκω ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι ὁ θεός τὸ θέλημά σου
- 8Above 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;ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι ⸂Θυσίας καὶ προσφορὰς⸃ καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας αἵτινες κατὰ ⸀νόμον προσφέρονται
- 9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.τότε εἴρηκεν Ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ⸀ποιῆσαι τὸ θέλημά σου ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ
- 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ⸀ἐσμὲν διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ
- 11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ’ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας
- 12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;⸀οὗτος δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ
- 13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.τὸ ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ
- 14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους
- 15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον μετὰ γὰρ τὸ ⸀εἰρηκέναι
- 16This 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;Αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας λέγει κύριος διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ ⸂τὴν διάνοιαν⸃ αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς
- 17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.⸀καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ ἔτι
- 18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας
- 19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,Ἔχοντες οὖν ἀδελφοί εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ
- 20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ
- 21And having an high priest over the house of God;καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ
- 22Let 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.προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως ῥεραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς καὶ λελουσμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ
- 23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ
- 24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων
- 25Not 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.μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν καθὼς ἔθος ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν
- 26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία
- 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.φοβερὰ δέ ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους
- 28He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:ἀθετήσας νόμον χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν μάρτυσιν
- 29Of 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?πόσῳ δοκεῖτε χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καταπατήσας καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας
- 30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις ἐγὼ ⸀ἀνταποδώσω καὶ πάλιν ⸂Κρινεῖ κύριος⸃ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
- 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας θεοῦ ζῶντος
- 32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων
- 33Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσιν θεατριζόμενοι τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες
- 34For 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. yourselves}καὶ γὰρ τοῖς ⸀δεσμίοις συνεπαθήσατε καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ⸀ἑαυτοὺς κρείττονα ⸀ὕπαρξιν καὶ μένουσαν
- 35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἥτις ἔχει ⸂μεγάλην μισθαποδοσίαν⸃
- 36For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν
- 37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονίσει
- 38Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.ὁ δὲ δίκαιός ⸀μου ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ
- 39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς
