In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”

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), 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 (A)By that will we have been [b]sanctified (B)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands (C)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (D)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (E)at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting (F)till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [c]sanctified.

15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 (G)“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, (H)“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is [d]remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
