Forthelawhavinga shadowof good thingsto come, and nottheveryimageof thethings, canneverwith thosesacrificeswhichthey offeredyear by yearcontinuallymake the comers thereunto perfect. For thenwould they nothave ceasedto be offered? because that theworshipersoncepurgedshould have hadno moreconscienceof sins. Butinthose sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sinsevery year. For it is not possiblethat the bloodof bullsandof goatsshould take awaysins. Whereforewhen he comethintotheworld, he saith, Sacrificeandofferingthou wouldestnot, buta bodyhast thou preparedme: In burnt offeringsand sacrifices forsinthou hast had no pleasure. ThensaidI, Lo, I come( inthe volumeof the bookit is writtenofme,) todothywill, O God. Abovewhen he said, Sacrificeandofferingandburnt offeringsand offering forsinthou wouldestnot, neitherhadst pleasure therein ; whichare offeredbythelaw; Thensaidhe, Lo, I cometo dothywill, O God. He taketh awaythefirst, thathe may establishthesecond. Bythe whichwillwe aresanctifiedthroughtheofferingof thebodyof JesusChristonce for all. Andeveryprieststandethdailyministeringandofferingoftentimesthesamesacrifices, whichcannevertake awaysins: Butthis man, after he had offeredonesacrificeforsinsforever, sat downonthe right handof God; From henceforthexpectingtillhisenemiesbe madehis footstool. Forby oneofferinghe hath perfectedforeverthem that are sanctified. WhereoftheHolyGhostalsois a witnessto us: forafterthat he had said before, This is thecovenantthatI will makewiththemafterthosedays, saiththe Lord, I will putmylawsintotheirhearts, andintheirmindswill I writethem; Andtheirsinsandiniquitieswill I rememberno more. Nowwhereremissionof these is, there is no moreofferingforsin. Havingtherefore, brethren, boldnessto enter intotheholiestbythebloodof Jesus, By a newandlivingway, whichhe hath consecratedfor us, throughtheveil, that is to say, hisflesh; And having a highpriestoverthehouseof God; Let us draw nearwitha trueheartinfull assuranceof faith, having our heartssprinkledfroman evilconscience, andour bodieswashedwith purewater. Let us hold fasttheprofessionof our faithwithout wavering; ( forhe is faithfulthat promised;) Andlet us considerone anotherto provoke untoloveandto goodworks: Notforsakingtheassembling of ourselves together, asthe mannerof some is ; butexhorting one another : andso muchthe more, asye seethedayapproaching. Forif wesinwillfullyafter that we have receivedtheknowledgeof thetruth, there remainethno moresacrificeforsins, Buta certainfearfullooking forof judgmentandfieryindignation, which shalldevourtheadversaries. Hethat despisedMoses' lawdiedwithoutmercyundertwoorthreewitnesses: Of how muchsorerpunishment, supposeye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foottheSonof God, andhath countedthebloodof thecovenant, wherewithhe was sanctified, an unholy thing, andhath done despiteunto theSpiritof grace? Forwe knowhim that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, Iwill recompense, saiththe Lord. Andagain, The Lordshall judgehispeople. It is a fearful thingto fallintothe handsof the livingGod.
