10 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those things, can never, with those sacrifices which they offered continually year by year, make those who come unto it perfect.

For then would not sacrifices have ceased to be offered? For worshipers once purged should have had no more consciousness of sins.

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year,

for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Therefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, “Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not have, but a body hast Thou prepared for Me.

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.

Then said I, ‘Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.’”

Above when He said, “Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings, and offering for sin Thou wouldest not have, neither hadst pleasure therein” (which are offered in accordance with the law),

then said He, “Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God,” He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.

10 By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering time and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 from henceforth to wait until His enemies be made His footstool.

14 For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified.

15 Of this the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after He had said before,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
