Consequently, (A)when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,

(B)“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
    but a body have you prepared for me;
in burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you have taken no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
    as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in (C)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, (D)“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will (E)we have been sanctified through the offering of (F)the body of Jesus Christ (G)once for all.

  1. Hebrews 10:5 Greek he

The Messiah Offered One Sacrifice

For this reason, the Scriptures[a] say, when the Messiah[b] was about to come into the world:

“You did not want sacrifices and offerings,
    but you prepared a body for me.
In burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you never took delight.
Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’
    In the volume of the scroll this is written about me.”[c]

In this passage he says, “You never wanted or took delight in sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sin offerings,”[d] which are offered according to the Law. Then he says, “See, I have come to do your will.”[e] He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By God’s will we have been sanctified once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.[f]
