¹⁶ Therefore no one is to ^[a](A)act as your judge in regard to ^(B)food or ^(C)drink or in respect to a ^(D)festival or a ^(E)new moon or a ^(F)Sabbath ^[b]day— ¹⁷ things which are ^(G)a mere shadow of what is to come; but the ^[c]substance ^[d]belongs to Christ.

⁴ Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who ^(A)offer the gifts according to the Law; ⁵ who serve ^(B)a copy and ^(C)shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses ^[a]was ^(D)warned by God when he was about to erect the ^[b]tabernacle; for, “^(E)See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.”

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

10 For the Law, since it has only ^(A)a shadow of ^(B)the good things to come and not the very ^[a]form of things, ^[b]can ^(C)never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, ^(D)make perfect those who draw near.
