Hebrews 10:9-14
10:9 then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” 1 He does away with 2 the first to establish the second.
10:10 By his will 3 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 4 serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.
10:12 But when this priest 5 had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand 6 of God,
10:13 where he is now waiting 7 until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. 8
10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
1 tc The majority of mss, especially the later ones (א2 0278vid 1739 Ï lat), have ὁ θεός (Jo qeo", “God”) at this point, while most of the earliest and best witnesses lack such an explicit addressee (so Ì46 א* A C D K P Ψ 33 1175 1881 2464 al). The longer reading is a palpable corruption, apparently motivated in part by the wording of Ps 40:8 (39:9 LXX) and by the word order of this same verse as quoted in Heb 10:7.
2 tn Or “abolishes.”
3 tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
4 tn Or “daily,” “every day.”
5 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.
6 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
7 tn Grk “from then on waiting.”
8 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
