10 For the law, having the shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things, can never - with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually - sanctify those who come to it.

² For would they not, then, have ceased to have been offered, because those who offer (once purged) would have had no more consciousness of sins?

³ But in those sacrifices, there is a remembrance of sins again every year.

⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, but a body have You prepared for Me.

⁶ “In burnt offerings and sin offerings You have had no pleasure.

⁷ “Then I said, ‘Lo, I come. In the beginning of the book it is written of Me, that I should do Your will, O God’.”

⁸ Previously, when He said, “Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings, and sin offerings, You do not desire, nor had pleasure therein (which are offered by the Law).”

⁹ Then He said, “Lo, I come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first, so that He may establish the second.

¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified; by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ And every priest stands daily, ministering, frequently offering the same sacrifice (which can never take away sins).

¹² But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins, sits forever at the right hand of God.

¹³ And since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made His footstool.

¹⁴ For with one offering, He has forever consecrated those who are sanctified.

¹⁵ For the Holy Ghost also bears us witness. For after He had said before,

¹⁶ “This is the Testament that I will make to them after those days, says the Lord, ‘I will put my Laws in their heart, and I will write them in their minds.’”

¹⁷ And, “Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
