Hebrews 10:4-10

Living Bible

⁴ For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats really to take away sins.^[a]

⁵ That is why Christ said as he came into the world, “O God, the blood of bulls and goats cannot satisfy you, so you have made ready this body of mine for me to lay as a sacrifice upon your altar. ⁶ You were not satisfied with the animal sacrifices, slain and burnt before you as offerings for sin. ⁷ Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, to lay down my life, just as the Scriptures said that I would.’”

⁸ After Christ said this about not being satisfied with the various sacrifices and offerings required under the old system, ⁹ he then added, “Here I am. I have come to give my life.”

He cancels the first system in favor of a far better one. ¹⁰ Under this new plan we have been forgiven and made clean by Christ’s dying for us once and for all.
