Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

10 The law is only a shadow^(A) of the good things^(B) that are coming—not the realities themselves.^(C) For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect^(D) those who draw near to worship.^{(E) 2} Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.^{(F) 3} But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.^{(G) 4} It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats^(H) to take away sins.^(I)

¹⁰ And by that will, we have been made holy^(A) through the sacrifice of the body^(B) of Jesus Christ once for all.^(C)

¹¹ Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,^(D) which can never take away sins.^{(E) 12} But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,^(F) he sat down at the right hand of God,^{(G) 13} and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.^{(H) 14} For by one sacrifice he has made perfect^(I) forever those who are being made holy.^(J)
