1 For the law having a shadow of the good things coming(=to come), not the very image of the realities, (by) the same sacrifices which they offer to the continuous(=continually) every year, never be able to perfect the ones coming to (worship),

2 For would they not have stopped being offered? For the ones worshiping, having been cleansed once for all, to have no conscience(=would no longer have any consciousness) of sins.

3 But in them(=those sacrifices) (there is) a reminder of sins every year,

4 For it is impossible (for the) blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore coming into the world, he says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body you prepared for me,”

6(with) burnt offerings and (sacrifices) for sins you were not pleased”

7 “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come – in a scroll of (the) book it has been written about me - [the] to do Your will, O God.’”

8 Above saying, “[that] Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and (sacrifices) for sins You did not desire, nor were You pleased (with them)” - which are offered according to (the) law,

9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come [the] to do Your will.” He takes away the first so that he might establish the second,

10 in(=by) which will we are having been sanctified(=have been sanctified)1 through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And on one hand every priest stands(# perfect as present) daily ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which is never able to take away sins,

12 on the other hand, this (priest) having offered one sacrifice for sins to the continuous(=for all the time), he sat down at (the) right (hand) of God,

13 the remaining(=from that time)2 waiting until his enemies might be made footstool of(=under) his feet.

14 For (by) one offering he has perfected to the continuous(=forever) the ones being sanctified.

15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after to have said(=saying),

16 “‘This (is) the covenant that I will covenant(=make) with them after those days,’ says (the) Lord. ‘Giving my laws on their hearts, I will write them on their mind,’”

17 “and I will remember their sins and their lawless no more.”

18 And where forgiveness of these (is), (there is) no longer offering for sins.

19 Therefore, brothers, having confidence for the entrance of(=to enter) the Holies(=sanctuary) by the blood of Jesus,

20 (by) a new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, this is his flesh,

21 and (having) a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us approach with a true heart in assurance of faith, having been sprinkled the hearts(=having our hearts sprinkled)3 from an evil conscience and having been washed the body(=having our body washed) (with) pure water,

23 let us hold fast the confession of [the] hope without wavering, for the One having promised (is) faithful,

24 and let us consider one another for incitement of love and good works,

25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves, as habit of some (is), but exhorting (one another), and so much (the) more as you see the day drawing near.

26 Our sinning(=If we sin)4 deliberately after the to have received(=after we have received) the knowledge of the truth, (there) remains no more sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire being about to consume(=that will consume) the adversaries. 28 Anyone having rejected (the) law of Moses dies(# present frequentative) without mercy on (the testimony) of two or three witnesses, 29 how much worse punishment, do you think, will the one be thought worthy having trampled(=who has trampled) the son of God, [and having] regarded the blood of the covenant (as) common thing, in(=by) which he was sanctified, and [having] insulted the Sprit of grace?

30 For we know the One having said, “Vengeance (is) to Me(=Mine), I will repay.” And again, “(The) Lord will judge His people.”

31 (It is) fearful thing [the] to have fallen into (the) hands of (the) living God.

32 But remember the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, you endured a great struggle of sufferings,

33 this(=sometimes), on one hand, being publicly exposed to insults(# dative of instrument) and to afflictions, this(=sometimes), on the other hand, having become partners of the ones living so(=with those who were so treated).

34 For you sympathized (with) prisoners, and you willingly accepted with joy the confiscation of the things belonging of(=to) you(=your possessions), knowing to have a better and lasting property for yourselves.

35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has a great reward.

36 For you have need of endurance, so that you, having done the will of God, might receive the promise. 37 “For yet a very(# exclamatory) little while, (the) coming One will come and will not delay.”

38 “But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he might draw back, my soul is not pleased in(=with) him.”

39 But we are not of drawing back(=of those who draw back) to destruction, but of faith to acquiring(=of those who believe to the saving) of the soul.
