Hebrews 10:5-10
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 For this reason, when Christ came into the world, he said,
“ ‘You did not want sacrifices and offerings,
but you prepared a body for me.
6 You did not approve of burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.’
7 Then I said, ‘I have come!
(It is written about me in the scroll of the book.)
I have come to do what you want, my God.’ ”
8 In this passage Christ first said, “You did not want sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices for sin. You did not approve of them.” (These are the sacrifices that Moses’ Teachings require people to offer.) 9 Then Christ says, “I have come to do what you want.” He did away with sacrifices in order to establish the obedience that God wants. 10 We have been set apart as holy because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do by sacrificing his body once and for all.

Hebrews 10:5-10
New International Version
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(A) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(B)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(C)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](D)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(E)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(F) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(G) through the sacrifice of the body(H) of Jesus Christ once for all.(I)
