For it is (A)impossible for the (B)blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, (C)when He comes into the world, He says,

(D)You have not desired sacrifice and offering,
But (E)You have prepared a body for Me;
(F)You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.
(G)Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(It is written of Me in (H)the scroll of the book)
To do Your will, O God.’”

After saying above, “(I)Sacrifices and offerings and (J)whole burnt offerings and offerings (K)for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), then He [a]said, “(L)Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By [b]this will, we have been (M)sanctified through (N)the offering of (O)the body of Jesus Christ (P)once for all time.

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and (Q)offering time after time the same sacrifices, which (R)can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice (S)for [c]sins (T)for all time, (U)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward (V)until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has (W)perfected (X)for all time those who are [d]sanctified.

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

Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(C) he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
    but a body you prepared for me;(D)
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(E)
    I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](F)

First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(G)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(H) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(I) through the sacrifice of the body(J) of Jesus Christ once for all.(K)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(L) which can never take away sins.(M) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(N) he sat down at the right hand of God,(O) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(P) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(Q) forever those who are being made holy.(R)
