Hebrews 10:1-4

International Standard Version

The Law is a Reflection

10 For the Law, being only^[a] a reflection^[b] of the blessings to come and not their substance, can never make perfect those who come near by the same sacrifices repeatedly offered year after year. ² Otherwise, would they not have stopped offering them, because the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer be aware of any sins? ³ Instead, through those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year, ⁴ for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
