For (A)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

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

(C)“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 (D)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, (E)“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 (F)we have been sanctified through the offering of (G)the body of Jesus Christ (H)once for all.

  1. Hebrews 10:5 Greek he

It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(A) to take away sins.(B)

Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(C) he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
    but a body you prepared for me;(D)
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(E)
    I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](F)

First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(G)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(H) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(I) through the sacrifice of the body(J) of Jesus Christ once for all.(K)
