Chapter 10 of Hebrews—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, [a]can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.
  2. Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
  3. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.
  4. For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
  5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
    1Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
    ¶ But a body didst thou prepare for me;
  6. ¶ In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
  7. ¶ Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me)
    ¶ To do thy will, O God.
  8. ¶ Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),
  9. then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
  10. [b]By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
  11. And every [c]priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:
  12. but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for [d]sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
  13. henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.
  14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
  15. And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,
  16. 2This is the covenant that [e]I will make with them
    ¶ After those days, saith the Lord:
    ¶ I will put my laws on their heart,
    ¶ And upon their mind also will I write them;
    then saith he,
  17. ¶ And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
  18. ¶ Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
  19. ¶ Having therefore, brethren, 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 the house of God;
  22. let us draw near with a true heart in [f]fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil [g]conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,
  23. let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:
  24. and let us consider one another to provoke unto 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 ye see the day drawing nigh.
  26. ¶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,
  27. but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a [h]fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
  28. A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:
  29. of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified [i]an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
  30. For we know him that said, 3Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, 4The Lord shall judge his people.
  31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
  32. ¶ But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;
  33. partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.
  34. For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that [j]5ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.
  35. Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.
  36. For ye have need of [k]patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
  37. 6For yet a very little while,
    ¶ He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
  38. ¶ But [l]my righteous one shall live by faith:
    ¶ And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
  39. ¶ But we are not [m]of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the [n]saving of the soul.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
