Therefore, (A)when He comes into the world, He says,

(B)You have not desired sacrifice and offering,
But (C)You have prepared a body for Me;
(D)You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.
(E)Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(It is written of Me in (F)the scroll of the book)
To do Your will, O God.’”

After saying above, “(G)Sacrifices and offerings and (H)whole burnt offerings and offerings (I)for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), then He [a]said, “(J)Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10 By [b]this will, we have been (K)sanctified through (L)the offering of (M)the body of Jesus Christ (N)once for all time.

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]
