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;

6[and] 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 ever[more] 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.
