Hebrews 10:1-22

Worsley(i) 1 For the law having but a faint shadow of good things to come, and not the full image of the things, can never, even by the great annual sacrifices which they offer statedly, make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then they would have ceased to be offered, because the sacrificers, being once purified, would no longer retain any consciousness of sins. 3 Whereas in these very sacrifices there is a recalling of sins to mind every year. 4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore upon his coming into the world He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure: 7 then said I, Lo I come, as in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God." 8 Having said before, "Thou didst not desire, nor hadst pleasure in, sacrifice and offering, and whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin," (which are offered by the law) then He adds, 9 "Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.) 10 By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And indeed every priest under the law standeth daily ministring, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 but He having offered one sacrifice for sins, is for ever sat down at the right hand of God; 13 waiting for the future, till his enemies be put under his feet. 14 For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those that are sanctified. 15 And of this the holy Ghost also beareth witness with us: 16 for after He had said, "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 on their minds will I inscribe them; 17 He adds, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more." 18 Now where there is such a remission of these, there needs no more offering for sin. 19 Having therefore, brethren, free admission into the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 the new and living way which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, 21 his flesh, and having a great high-priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
