Hebrews 10:1 - Easy To Read Version

¹ The law {\cf2\super [119]} gave us only an unclear picture of the good things coming in the future. The law is not a perfect picture of the real things. The law tells people to offer the same sacrifices {\cf2\super [120]} every year. The people who come to worship God continue to offer those sacrifices. But the law can never make those people perfect.

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

¹ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

¹ FOR SINCE the Law has merely a rude outline (foreshadowing) of the good things to come–instead of fully expressing those things–it can never by offering the same sacrifices continually year after year make perfect those who approach [its altars].

American Standard Version (1901)

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

Common English Bible

¹ The Law is a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the real things themselves. It never can perfect the ones who are trying to draw near to God through the same sacrifices that are offered continually every year.

Catholic Public Domain Version

¹ For the law contains the shadow of future good things, not the very image of these things. So, by the very same sacrifices which they offer ceaselessly each year, they can never cause these to approach perfection.

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things; by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect:

Hebrews 10:1 Tagairtí Cros

Leviticus 9:16

Aaron brought the burnt offering and offered it, like the Lord had commanded.

Romans 8:3

The law {\cf2\super [61]} was without power because the law was made weak by our sinful selves. But God did what the law could not do. God sent his own Son to earth with the same human life that other people use for sin. God sent his Son to be an offering to pay for sin. So God used a human life to condemn (destroy) sin.

Colossians 2:17

In the past, these things were like a shadow that showed what was coming. But the new things that were coming are found in Christ.

Hebrews 10:22

We have been cleansed and made free from feelings of guilt. And our bodies have been washed with pure water. So come near to God with a sincere (true) heart, feeling sure because of our faith.

Hebrews 7:11

People were given the law {\cf2\super [62]} under the system of priests from the Levi family group. {\cf2\super [63]} But people could not be made spiritually perfect through that system of priests. So there was a need for another priest to come. I mean a priest that is like Melchizedek, {\cf2\super [64]} not Aaron. {\cf2\super [65]}

Hebrews 8:5

The work that these priests do is really only a copy and a shadow of the things that are in heaven. That is why God warned Moses {\cf2\super [82]} when Moses was ready to build the Holy Tent {\cf2\super [83]} : “Be sure to make everything exactly like the pattern I showed you on the mountain.” {\cf2\super [84]}

Hebrews 9:11

But Christ has already come to be the high priest. {\cf2\super [104]} He is the high priest of the good things we now have. But Christ does not serve in a place like the tent that those other priests served in. Christ serves in a place that is better than that tent. It is more perfect. And that place is not made by men. It does not belong to this world.

Hebrews 9:23

These things are copies of the real things that are in heaven. These copies had to be made clean by animal sacrifices. {\cf2\super [115]} But the real things in heaven must have much better sacrifices.

Hebrews 9:25

The high priest {\cf2\super [117]} enters the Most Holy Place once every year. He takes with him blood to offer. But he does not offer his own blood \{like Christ did\}. Christ went into heaven, but not to offer himself many times like the high priest \{offers blood again and again\}.
