CHAP. X.

1 The weakenesse of the Law sacrifices. 10 The sacrifice of Christs body once offered, 14 for euer, hath taken away sinnes. 19 An exhortation to hold fast the faith, with patience and thankesgiuing.

¹For the Law hauing a shadow of good things to come, and not the very Image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices which they offered yeere by yeere continually, make the commers thereunto perfect:

²For then would they not haue ceased to be offered, because that the worshippers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?

³But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe made of sinnes euery yeere.

⁴For it is not possible that the blood of Bulles and of Goats, should take away sinnes.

⁵Wherefore when hee commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared mee:⁵

⁶In burnt offerings, and sacrifices for sinne thou hast had no pleasure:

⁷Then said I, Loe, I come. (In the volume of the booke it is written of me) to doe thy will, O God.

⁸Aboue when hee said, Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for sinne thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein, which are offered by the Law:

⁹Then said he, Loe, I come to doe thy will (O God:) He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

¹⁰By the which will wee are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Iesus Christ once for all.

¹¹And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can neuer take away sinnes.

¹²But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes for euer, sate downe on the right hand of God,

¹³From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstoole.

¹⁴For by one offering hee hath perfected for euer them that are sanctified.

¹⁵Whereof the holy Ghost also is a witnesse to vs: for after that he had said before,

¹⁶This is the Couenant that I wil make with them after those dayes, saith the Lord: I will put my Lawes into their hearts, and in their mindes will I write them:¹⁶

¹⁷And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸Now, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sinne.

¹⁹Hauing therefore, brethren, boldnesse to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Iesus,¹⁹

²⁰By a new and liuing way which hee hath consecrated for vs, through the vaile, that is to say, His flesh:²⁰

²¹And hauing an high Priest ouer the house of God:

²²Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in full assurance of faith, hauing our hearts sprinkled from an euill conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Let vs hold fast the profession of our faith without wauering (for he is faithfull that promised)

²⁴And let vs consider one another to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes:

²⁵Not forsaking the assembling of our selues together, as the manner of some is: but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approching.

²⁶For if we sinne wilfully after that we haue receiued the knowledge of the trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,

²⁷But a certaine fearefull looking for of iudgement, and fiery indignation, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.

²⁸Hee that despised Moses Lawe, died without mercy, vnder two or three witnesses.

²⁹Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye, shall hee be thought worthy, who hath troden vnder foote þ^e Sonne of God, and hath counted the blood of the couenant wherwith he was sanctified, an vnholy thing, and hath done despite vnto the spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him that hath said, Uengeance belongeth vnto me, I wil recompence, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall iudge his people.³⁰

³¹It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.

³²But call to remembrance the former dayes, in which after yee were illuminated, ye indured a great fight of afflictions:

³³Partly whilest ye were made a gazing stocke both by reproches & afflictions, and partly whilest ye became companions of them that were so vsed.

³⁴For yee had compassion of me in my bonds, and tooke ioyfully the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues that yee haue in heauen a better and an induring substance.

³⁵Cast not away therfore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁶For ye haue need of patience, that shall after ye haue done the will of God ye might receiue the promise.

³⁷For yet a litle while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tary.

³⁸Now the iust shall liue by faith: but if any man drawe backe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

³⁹But wee are not of them who draw backe vnto perdition: but of them that beleeue, to the sauing of the soule.
