Hebrews 10:4-14
New King James Version
4 For (A)it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will(B)
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
(C)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 (D)By that will we have been [b]sanctified (E)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified
11 And every priest stands (F)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (G)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (H)at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting (I)till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [c]sanctified.

New King James Version
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with [a]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but (A)with the precious blood of Christ, (B)as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 (C)He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was [b]manifest (D)in these last times for you
