Context is always key: Who is the speaker/writer? Who is the speaker/writer talking to? What is the speaker/writer talking about?
2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is "God-breathed" & useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting & training in righteousness,”
Who is the writer talking to? Well, the title tells us that, HEBREWS.
What is the context of chapter 10? Old covenant Sin Sacrifice's & A BETTER new covenant Sin Sacrifice.
Heb 10:
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.
(MY NOTE: The sin sacrifices made under Mosaic law were foreshadows of Christ's coming, BETTER/perfect, Once for All Time sin sacrifice)
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
(MY NOTE: Mosaic law sin sacrifices were to STOP once the ultimate sin sacrifice (Christ) was completed. See Matt 27:51 Jesus died & the Temple veil was ripped in 1/2)
3 But in those "sacrifices" there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
(MY NOTE: These Mosaic law sacrifices were made again & again, over & over etc)
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
(MY NOTE: These Mosaic law sacrifices only cover sin & could did not provide remission = pardon. After Jesus perfect Once for All Time sacrifice. All the OT, covered sins, were then, taken away)
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice" and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
(MY NOTE: See Ps 40:6 foretelling. A 2nd scripture witness)
6 In burnt offerings and "sacrifices for sin" thou hast had no pleasure.
(MY NOTE: See Isa 1:11 foretelling. A 2nd scripture witness)
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
(MY NOTE: See Ps 40:6-8 foretelling. A 2nd scripture witness)
8 Above when he said, "Sacrifice" and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
(MY NOTE: Mosaic law sacrifices, that covered only, did not completely satisfy heavens required wage for sin)
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
(MY NOTE: The 1st = Mosaic law, the 2nd Order of Melchizedek. Established upon Christ sin payment & resurrection)
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(MY NOTE: Christ Once for All Time sin sacrifice, sanctifies every believer. Mosaic law couldn't do that Rom 8:3-4)
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same "sacrifices", which can never take away sins:
(MY NOTE: ALL the Mosaic law sacrifices (millions?) Only covered & didn't provide sin remission/pardon/removal)
12 But this man, after he had offered one "sacrifice for sins" for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
(MY NOTE: Christ's One Time (God Blood) payment satisfied heavens required sin payment & takes away/removes ALL the believers sin. (Jn 1:29)
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
(MY NOTE: Christ's sinless/perfect God Blood payment FOREVER sanctifies the believer)
15 Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
(MY NOTE See Jer 31:33)
16 This is the (New) covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
(MY NOTE: Jer 31:33, 1 Pet 1:21, Hew 8:7-13)
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
(MY NOTE: If someone forgets something, they my remember it again. God say's He will remember the believers sins No More!)
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
(MY NOTE: Where there is Remission = pardon/total forgiveness. We never need another sin offering beyond faith in Christ's sin payment & resurrection)
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
(MY NOTE: Jesus/God blood sin payment removed the curtain veil (Matt 27:51) that stood between God & sinful man. And now believers can enter into God's presents.)
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
(MY NOTE: Thru faith in Christ's death, burial & resurrection we pass thru the spiritual viel)
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
(MY NOTE: Jesus is our High Priest: Ps 110:4, Heb 2:17, 3:2, 4:14,15, 5:6, 6:20, 7:11,15,23,26,27, 9:12,24. It's our faith in His everlasting righteousness that provides our eternal salvation)
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
(MY NOTE: We come/access His righteousness by grace thru faith Rom 3:24, 5:1-2, Acts 15:11, Eph 2:5,8, 2 Tim 1:9)
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
(MY NOTE: Trust in His faithful obedience & righteousness works, not your own)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
(MY NOTE: Love God & your fellow believer)
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
(MY NOTE: Find other believers & worship God together)
Now consider the contextual background verses 1-26 (Vs 14 in particular) this chapter = A NEW BETTER SACRIFICE! Onto verse 26:
26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the "knowledge of the truth", there remains no more "sacrifice" for sins,
(MY NOTE: This epistle is written to both believing & unbelieving HEBREWS under the Old Mosaic law covenant. 2ndly: Please reread the chapter context A NEW BETTER SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM. 3rdly: I'd like to remind NT believers (Rom 6:14 (B) You're not under (never were) Mosaic law.)
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(MY NOTE: Remember written to Hebrews during a time of Temple sacrifices)
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
(MY NOTE: Now that you know/understand about the ultimate sin sacrifice, beware!)
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
(MY NOTE: They understood what the results from breaking God's law were)
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
(MY NOTE: If you bring a sin sacrifice to the Temple after you know the truth about Jesus ultimate sacrifice. You deny the Son, the Father, who sent the Son & the Holy Spirit the revealed it to you.)
I would place the one's that chose to deny the Son as the the one's Jesus fortold of in the sowers parable:
Matt 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Life revolved around the Temple. Stephen had been stoned to death for his faith in Jesus, Saul was rounding up Christ professing believers & many believers scattered/dispersed/ran for their life.
Bottom line, these people were never saved. The Word/seed fell onto a stony heart.
