  1. Hebrews 13:21 Some manuscripts you

For (A)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Consequently, (B)when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,

(C)“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
    but a body have you prepared for me;
in burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you have taken no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
    as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in (D)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, (E)“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will (F)we have been sanctified through the offering of (G)the body of Jesus Christ (H)once for all.

11 And every priest stands (I)daily at his service, (J)offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, (K)which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he (L)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time (M)until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering (N)he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

16 (O)“This is the covenant that I will make with them
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
    and write them on their minds,”

17 then he adds,

(P)“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 (Q)Therefore, brothers,[c] since we have confidence to enter (R)the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by (S)the new and living way that he opened for us through (T)the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have (U)a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts (V)sprinkled clean (W)from an evil conscience and our bodies (X)washed with pure water.

For he finds fault with them when he says:[a]

(A)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
    and with the house of Judah,
not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 (B)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
    and (C)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
    and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (D)all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
    (E)and I will remember their sins no more.”

The Certainty of God's Promise

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, (A)he swore by himself, 14 saying, (B)“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham,[a] (C)having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes (D)an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to (E)the heirs of the promise (F)the unchangeable character of his purpose, (G)he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which (H)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope (I)set before us.
