HEBREWS
Chapter 10
Update: 2024.11.01
Heb. 10:1 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ho) law (nomos), it holding (echōn) [a] shadow (skian) of the (tōn) good things (agathōn) being about (mellontōn) [to be],
(she (autēn) absolutely not (ouk) [being] the (tēn) icon (eikona) of the (tōn) practical issues (pragmatōn) - down (kat’) each year (eniauton) the (tais) same (autais) continual (diēnekes) sacrifices (thusiais) which (has) they bring (prospherousin) into (eis) the (to) [holy places, v9:25, RE]),
[the law, RE] could absolutely not at any time inherently power itself (oudepote dunatai) to make complete (teleiōsai) the (tous) [mortals, v9:27, RE] causing themselves to come to (proserchomenous) [the God, v9:24, RE]!
(For Jesus Christ being
the icon of the sacrificial issues, he being the final sacrifice,
and the new and final high sacrificial priest of Israel, see Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 1:15.)
(For two practical issues which the Mosaic law couldn't accomplish for the children of Israel, see Heb. 6:18-20.)
(Under the old covenant of the Mosaic Law God’s gift
of his paternal holy Spirit couldn’t be given to those who believe upon
Jesus name, because Jesus Christ hadn’t come yet, and hadn’t shed his
blood yet, and hadn’t died yet, to bring in a new covenant (Heb.
7:21-22); under which covenant it is now possible for anyone to obtain
eternal life. The best the old covenant could do was providing temporary
pardon for sin, month by month and year by year.
But it never gave anyone the ability to become free from the worry about
sin, the worry about sin always being in our conscience, from which
worry Christ Jesus has made us free (John 8:31-36). The new
covenant proves that what God promised to Israel through many of his
prophets about a coming new covenant, was true.
And secondly, through our
reception of God’s gift of holy Spirit we have tangible proof, and
thereby hope, for the return of Christ Jesus with our share of his
inheritance, which includes our eternal life.)
Heb. 10:3 (LIT/UBS4) BUT (all’), in (en) them (autais), [the sacrifices, v1, RE], [there, AE] [is] [a] remembrance (anamnēsis) of sins (hamartiōn) down through (kat’) each year (eniauton).
Heb. 10:4 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) blood (haima) of bulls (taurōn) and (kai) of he-goats (tragōn) [is] inherently unpowered (adunaton) to seize away (aphairein) sins (hamartias).
Heb. 10:5 (LIT/UBS4) Through this (dio) [blood, v4, RE] [being] inherently unpowered, v4, RE], causing himself to enter in (eiserchomenos) into (eis) the (ton) cosmos (kosmon), he says (legei), “A sacrifice (thusian) and (kai) [a] presentation (prosphoran) you absolutely did not desire (ouk ēthelēsas)!
But (de) you have caused yourself to make fit (katērtisō) for me (moi) [a] body (sōma).
Heb. 10:6 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) whole burnt offerings (holokautōmata) about (peri) sin (hamartias), you absolutely did not well-approve (ouk eudokēsas)!
Heb. 10:7 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) I enunciated (eipon), 'Behold (idou), I arrive (hēkō)!
In (en) [a] heading (kephalidi) of [a] little scroll (bibliou) it has been written (gegraptai) about (peri) me (emou), of the (tou) [desire of me, vPsa. 40:6-8] to do (poiēsai) the (to) desire (thelēma) of you (sou), the (ho) God (theos)!'”
(See Psalm 40:6-8)
Heb. 10:8 (LIT/UBS4) saying (legōn) above (anōteron), that (hoti), “Sacrifices (thusias), and (kai) presentations (prosphoras), and (kai) whole burnt offerings (holokautōmata), and (kai) [offerings, RE] about (peri) sin (hamartias), you absolutely did not desire (ouk ēthelēsas)!
But you absolutely did not well-approve (oude eudokēsas) [of sacrifices, RE] which (haitines) are brought to (prospherontai) [you, AE] down on account (kata) of law (nomon)!”
Heb. 10:9 (LIT/UBS4) Behold (idou), then (tote) he has stated (eirēken), “I arrive (hēkō) [on account, AE] of the (tou) [desire of me, vPsa. 40:6-8], to do (poiēsai) the (to) desire (thelēma) of you (sou)!”
He annihilates (anairei) the (to) first (prōton) [law, v8, RE], in order that (hina) he may stand (stēsē) the (to) second (deuteron) [law, v8, RE];
(See Rom. 3:27; Heb 11:1)
Heb. 10:10 (LIT/UBS4) in (en) whose (hō) desire (thelēmati) we are (esmen), we having been made holy (hēgiasmenoi) through (dia) the (tēs) presentation (prosphoras) once upon [a] time (ephapax) of the (tou) body (sōmatos) of Jesus (Iēsous) Christ (Christou)!
Heb. 10:11 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) truly (men), every (pas) sacrificial priest (hiereus) has stood (hestēken) down through (kath’) [every, v7:27, 9:6, RE] day (hēmeran) giving liturgical service (leitourgōn);
and (kai) the (tas) same (autas) [sacrificial priest, RE] many times (pollakis) bringing to (prospherōn) [the first tent, v9:6, RE] sacrifices (thusias), [sacrifices, RE] which (haitines) can absolutely not at any time (oudepote) inherently power themselves (dunantai) to take away sins all around (perielein hamartias)!
Heb. 10:12 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) this (houtos) [sacrificial priest, v11, RE] having brought to (prosenenkas) [the heavenly holy places, v9:24, RE] one (mian) sacrifice (thusian) over (huper) [the sake, AE] of sins (hamartiōn), into (eis) the (to) continual (diēnekes) [taking away of sins all around, v11, RE], he sat down (ekathisen) in (en) right (dexia) of the (tou) God (theou).
Heb. 10:13 (LIT/UBS4) Of the (to) remainder (loipon) [of Jesus Christ's liturgical service, v8:6, 9:21, 10:11, RE], he is causing himself to receive (ekdechomenos) [the ones causing themselves to come toward the God, v1, RE], until (heōs) the (hoi) hateful (echthroi) [mortals, v9:27, RE] of him (autou) may have been placed (tethōsin) [as, RE] [a] footstool under (hupopodion) the (tōn) feet (podōn) of him (autou)!
(For Christ Jesus' footstool, see Psalm 110:1; Mat. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; *Rom. 16:20; 1 Cor. 15:25-28; Eph. 1:22; Heb. 1:13, 2:8, 10:13)
Heb. 10:14 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) one (mia) presentation (prosphora) has been made complete (teteleiōken), into (eis) the (to) continual (diēnekes) [taking away of sins all around, v11, RE] of the ones (tous) being made holy (hagiazomenous)!
(See John 20:17)
Heb. 10:15 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (to) Spirit (pneuma) also (kai), the (to) holy one (hagion), witnesses (marturei) to us (hēmin), because (gar) with (meta) the (to) [coming to pass of the Spirit, vJer. 31:31] to have stated (eirēkenai):
Heb. 10:16 (LIT/UBS4) “This (hautē) [is] the (hē) covenant (diathēkē) which (hēn) I shall cause myself to put through (diathēsomai) to (pros) them (autous) with (meta) [the passing, vJer. 31:31] of the (tas) days (hēmeras) of those things (ekeinas)”, says (legei) [the] Lord (kurios, YHWH), “I am giving (didous) [the] laws (nomous) of me (mou) upon (epi) [the] hearts (kardias) of them (autōn);
and (kai) upon (epi) the (tēn) thought (dianoian) of them (autōn) I shall inscribe (epigrapsō) them (autous).
Heb. 10:17 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) of the (tōn) sins (hamartiōn) of them (autōn), and (kai) of the (tōn) lawlessness (anomiōn) of them (autōn), no (mē), I shall absolutely not be reminded (ou mnēsthēsomai) any longer (eti)!”
(For the God's prophecy of his coming new covenant, see Jer. 31:31-34; 2 Cor. 3:2-3; Heb. 8:8-12, 10:16-17)
(For all those who have received a new birth above in God’s promised gift of his paternal holy Spirit (Lev. 26:11-12; John 3:3-8; Acts 1:4; 2 Cor. 6:16-18; *1 Pet. 1:23), and for those paternal sons being taught by God (YHWH) himself, see Isa. 54:13; Jer. 31:31-34; Luke 12:12; John 5:19-20, 6:45, 14:26, 15:26, 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 1:4-8, 2:10, 12:8; 2 Cor. 5:19; Gal. 1:12; Eph. 4:20-21; 1 Thes. 4:9; 2 Tim. 2:7; Heb. 8:8-12, 10:16-17; James 1:5-6; 1 John 2:27, 5:20)
Heb. 10:18 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) where (hopou) [there, AE] [is] [a] letting go (aphesis) of these (toutōn) [sins, v17, RE] [there, AE] [is] absolutely no longer yet (ouketi) [a] presentation (prosphora) about (peri) sin (hamartias)!
Heb. 10:19 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), brothers (adelphoi), we having (echontes) boldness (parrēsian) [to go, AE] into (eis) the (tēn) entrance (eisodon) of the (tōn) [heavenly, v9:24, RE] holy places (hagiōn) in (en) the (tō) blood (haimati) of Jesus (Iēsou),
Heb. 10:20 (LIT/UBS4) which (hēn) way (hodon) he renewed (enekainisen) for us (hēmin), [a] lately slaughtered (prosphaton) and (kai) living (zōsan) [way, RE] through (dia) the (tou) curtain (katapetasmatos), that (tout’) is (estin), the (tēs) flesh (sarkos) of him (autou),

Heb. 10:22 (LIT/UBS4) may we cause ourselves to come to (proserchōmetha) [the God, v21, RE] with (meta) [a] true (alēthinēs) heart (kardias), in (en) [a] full lading (plērophoria) of belief (pisteōs);

Heb. 10:23 (LIT/UBS4) May we hold down (katechōmen) the (tēn) confession (homologian) of the (tēs) hope (elpidos), unwavering (aklinē);

Heb. 10:33 (LIT/UBS4) Truly (men), this (touto) [competition, v32, RE] is one being made [a] theatrical performance (theatrizomenoi), for both (te) reproaches (oneidismois) and (kai) mental pressures (thlipsesin)!

And (kai) the (tēn) plundering (harpagēn) of the (tōn) things being under control (huparchontōn) of you (humōn), you caused yourselves to receive to yourselves (prosedexasthe) [the plundering, RE] with (meta) joy (charas), knowing (ginōskontes) to hold (echein) for yourselves (heautous) [a] stronger positioned (kreittona) subsistence (huparxin), [a] remaining (menousan) [subsistence, RE] also (kai).
