And, inasmuch as it is in store for men - once for all to die, but after this, judgment,

Thus, the Christ also, once for all having been offered, for the bearing of the sins, of many, a second time, apart from sin, will appear, to them who for him are ardently waiting - unto salvation.

For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect;

Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?

For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins.

Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, -

In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight:

Higher up, saying - Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, - the which, according to the law, are offered,

But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God:

As for the rest, waiting - until his foes be made his footstool;

For, by one offering, hath he perfected for evermore, them who are being made holy.

But even the Holy Spirit beareth us witness; for, after having said -

But, wherever a remission of these is, there is, no further, offering, for sins.

Having therefore, brethren, freedom of speech for the entrance through the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus,

Which entrance he hath consecrated for us, as a way recent and living, through the veil, that is, his flesh, -

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope without wavering, - for, faithful, is he that hath promised;

For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full-knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,

For we know him that hath said - To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again - The Lord will judge his people.

For, even with them who were in bonds, ye sympathised, and, unto the seizure of your goods, with joy, ye bade welcome, - knowing that ye have yourselves, for a better possession and an abiding.
