World English Bible (with Deuterocanon)
“You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me. 6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’” 8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law), 9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, 10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord,
“I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says, 17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21 and having a great priest over God’s house, 22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful. 24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. 26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise. 37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait. 38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

Section: I. — LA PERSÉVÉRANCE DANS LA FOI.
19 Ainsi donc, frères, puisque nous avons, par le sang de Jésus un libre accès dans le sanctuaire, 20 par la voie nouvelle et vivante, qu’il a inaugurée, pour nous à travers le voile, c’est-à-dire à travers sa chair, 21 et puisque nous avons un grand prêtre établi sur la maison de Dieu, 22 approchons-nous avec un cœur sincère, dans la plénitude de la foi, le cœur purifié des souillures d’une mauvaise conscience, et le corps lavé dans une eau pure. 23 Restons inébranlablement attachés à la profession de notre espérance ; car celui qui a fait la promesse est fidèle. 24 Ayons l’œil ouvert les uns sur les autres pour nous exciter à la charité et aux bonnes œuvres. 25 Ne désertons pas notre assemblée, comme quelques-uns ont coutume de le faire ; mais exhortons-nous les uns les autres, et cela d’autant plus que vous voyez s’approcher le jour. 26 Car si nous péchons volontairement après avoir reçu la connaissance de la vérité, il ne reste plus de sacrifice pour les péchés ; 27 il n’y a plus qu’à attendre un jugement terrible et le feu jaloux qui dévorera les rebelles. 28 Celui qui a violé la loi de Moïse meurt sans miséricorde, sur la déposition de deux ou trois témoins ; 29 de quel châtiment plus sévère pensez-vous que sera jugé digne celui qui aura foulé aux pieds le Fils de Dieu, qui aura tenu pour profane le sang de l’alliance par lequel il avait été sanctifié, et qui aura outragé l’Esprit de la grâce ? 30 Car nous le connaissons, celui qui a dit : « À moi la vengeance ! c’est moi qui paierai de retour ! » Et encore : Le « Seigneur jugera son peuple. » 31 Il est effroyable de tomber entre les mains du Dieu vivant ! 32 Rappelez-vous ces premiers jours, où, après avoir été éclairés, vous avez soutenu un grand combat de souffrances, 33 tantôt exposés comme en spectacle aux opprobres et aux tribulations, tantôt prenant part aux maux de ceux qui étaient ainsi traités. 34 En effet, vous avez compati aux prisonniers, et vous avez accepté avec joie le pillage de vos biens, sachant que vous avez une richesse meilleure et qui durera toujours. 35 N’abandonnez donc pas votre assurance ; une grande récompense y est attachée. 36 Car la persévérance vous est nécessaire afin que, après avoir fait la volonté de Dieu, vous obteniez ce qui vous est promis. 37 Encore un peu, bien peu de temps et « celui qui doit venir viendra ; il ne tardera pas. 38 Et mon juste vivra par la foi ; mais, s’il se retire, mon âme ne mettra pas sa complaisance en lui. » 39 Pour nous, nous ne sommes pas de ceux qui se retirent pour leur perte, mais de ceux qui gardent la foi pour sauver leur âme.Reading settings
