What if we keep sinning on purpose? What if we do it even after we know the truth? Then there is no offering for our sins.

因为我们得知真道以后，若故意犯罪，赎罪的祭就再没有了；

如果我们领受真理的知识以后仍故意犯罪，就不再有赎罪的祭物，

如果我们领受真理的知识以后仍故意犯罪，就不再有赎罪的祭物，

因为我们知道了真理以后，若仍然故意犯罪，就再没有赎罪祭了，

如果我们领受了真理的知识以后，还是故意犯罪，就再没有留下赎罪的祭品了；

要知道，我们领受了真理的知识以后，如果还故意犯罪，就不再有赎罪的祭物被保留下来；

因為我們得知真道以後，若故意犯罪，贖罪的祭就再沒有了；

如果我們領受真理的知識以後仍故意犯罪，就不再有贖罪的祭物，

如果我們領受真理的知識以後仍故意犯罪，就不再有贖罪的祭物，

因為我們知道了真理以後，若仍然故意犯罪，就再沒有贖罪祭了，

如果我們領受了真理的知識以後，還是故意犯罪，就再沒有留下贖罪的祭品了；

因為我們領受了真理之認識以後，若故意犯罪，就不再有為罪獻的祭保留着了，

要知道，我們領受了真理的知識以後，如果還故意犯罪，就不再有贖罪的祭物被保留下來；

我儕既識真理、而故干罪、則無復有贖罪之祭、

倘吾儕識真理後、故背教、無復贖罪之祭、

我儕得識真理後、若故犯罪、則無復有可贖之祭、

夫吾人既認識真道、如再明知故犯、則不復有贖罪之祭、

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.

For if we deliberately go on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.Suppose they had not known the way of godliness. This would have been better than to know godliness and then turn away from it. The way of godliness is the sacred command passed on to them.What the proverbs say about them is true.“ A dog returns to where it has thrown up.”( Proverbs 26:11) And,“ A pig that is washed goes back to rolling in the mud.”

What if some people fall away from the faith? It won’t be possible to bring them back. It is true that they have seen the light. They have tasted the heavenly gift. They have shared in the Holy Spirit.They have tasted the good things of God’s word. They have tasted the powers of the age to come.But they have fallen away from the faith. So it won’t be possible to bring them back. They won’t be able to turn away from their sins. They are losing everything. That’s because they are nailing the Son of God to the cross all over again. They are bringing shame on him in front of everyone.

“ Suppose a servant knows the master’s wishes. But the servant doesn’t get ready and doesn’t do what the master wants. Then that servant will receive a heavy beating.

Jesus said,“ If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, you remain guilty.

“ What happens when an evil spirit comes out of a person? It goes through dry areas looking for a place to rest. But it doesn’t find it.Then it says,‘ I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives there, it finds the house empty. The house has been swept clean and put in order.Then the evil spirit goes and takes with it seven other spirits more evil than itself. They go in and live there. That person is worse off than before. That is how it will be with the evil people of today.”

So here is what I tell you. Every kind of sin and every evil word spoken against God will be forgiven. But speaking evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. A person like that won’t be forgiven either now or in days to come.

So suppose someone knows the good deeds they should do. But suppose they don’t do them. By not doing these good deeds, they sin.

Now you know these things. So you will be blessed if you do them.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.Whoever hates me hates my Father also.I did works among them that no one else did. If I hadn’t, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen those works. And still they have hated both me and my Father.

“ But you knew all that, Belshazzar. After all, you are Nebuchadnezzar’s son. In spite of that, you are still proud.You have taken your stand against the Lord of heaven. You had your servants bring cups from his temple to you. You and your nobles drank wine from them. So did your wives and concubines. You praised your gods. The statues of those gods are made out of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood or stone. They can’t see or hear or understand anything. But you didn’t honor God. He holds in his hand your very life and everything you do.

So people who are dying will be fooled by this evil. These people are dying because they refuse to love the truth. The truth would save them.

I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.

With it the priest will pay for the person’s sin in front of the Lord. The priest will do it for the one who did wrong by sinning without meaning to. When the sin is paid for, that person will be forgiven.The same law applies to everyone who sins without meaning to. It does not matter whether they are an Israelite or an outsider.“‘ But suppose someone sins on purpose. It does not matter whether they are an Israelite or an outsider. They speak evil things against the Lord. They must be separated from the community of Israel.They have not respected what the Lord has said. They have broken the Lord’ s commands. They must certainly be separated from the community. They are still guilty.’ ”

But who can know their own mistakes? Forgive my hidden faults.Also keep me from the sins I want to commit. May they not be my master. Then I will be without blame. I will not be guilty of any great sin against your law.

“ Speak to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ Suppose someone sins without meaning to. And that person does something the Lord commands us not to do.

Someone might show that they don’t respect the judge. Or they will show that they don’t respect the priest. The priest will serve the Lord your God at the place God will choose. If anyone doesn’t show respect for these people, that person must be put to death. Remove that evil person from Israel.

“‘ Or suppose the whole community of Israel sins without meaning to. They do something the Lord commands us not to do. Suppose they realize their guilt.
