²¹ Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.

¹⁸ Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

¹⁹ Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

¹⁸ I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

²⁵ May grace be with you all.

¹ For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

² For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

³ But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

⁴ Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

⁵ So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

⁶ You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

⁷ Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

⁸ After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

⁹ Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

¹⁰ By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

¹¹ And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

¹² But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;

¹⁵ All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

²² The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

⁶ From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;

²³ Gaius, with whom I am living, whose house is open to all the church, sends his love, so does Erastus, the manager of the accounts of the town, and Quartus, the brother.

²⁰ And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

⁷ To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.
