Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,

“You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering,
    but you prepared a body for me.
You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
    Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)
    to do your will, O God.’”Psalm 40:6-8

Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law), then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, 10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,

[a]Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
But a body didst thou prepare for me;
In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:
Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me)
To do thy will, O God.

Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 [b]By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
