Hebrews 10:1-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

10 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:

² For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer:

³ But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year.

⁴ For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.

⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:

⁶ Holocausts for sin did not please thee.

⁷ Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.

⁸ In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.

⁹ Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.

¹⁰ In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.

¹¹ And every priest indeed standeth daily ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

¹² But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,

¹³ From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool.

¹⁴ For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁵ And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:

¹⁶ And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts, and on their minds will I write them:

¹⁷ And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.

¹⁸ Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
