Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,

waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.

For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:

But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,

the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)

and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;

For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,

For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; *I* will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people.

For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.

For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.

Now faith is [the] substantiating of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen.

For in [the power of] this the elders have obtained testimony.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before [his] translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.
