Hebrews 10:5-10
Lexham English Bible
5 Therefore, when he[a] came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifice and offering you did not want,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 you did not delight in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
in the roll of the book it is written about me—
to do your will, O God.’
8 When he says above,
“Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin
you did not want, nor did you delight in,”[b]
which are offered according to the law, 9 then he has said,
“Behold, I have come to do your will.”[c]
He takes away the first in order to establish the second, 10 by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
