Hebrews 10:10-14
Context10:10 By his will 2 we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:11 And every priest stands day after day 3 serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins. 10:12 But when this priest 4 had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand 5 of God, 10:13 where he is now waiting 6 until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. 7 10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
[10:4] 1 tn Grk “for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.”
[10:10] 2 tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
[10:11] 3 tn Or “daily,” “every day.”
[10:12] 4 tn Grk “this one.” This pronoun refers to Jesus, but “this priest” was used in the translation to make the contrast between the Jewish priests in v. 11 and Jesus as a priest clearer in English.
[10:12] 5 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
