New Testament in a Year
10 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not that image of things, may never make men approaching perfect by those same sacrifices, which they offer without ceasing by all years; [Forsooth the law having shadow of goods to come, not that image of things, by all years by those same hosts, which they offer without ceasing, never may make men coming nigh perfect;]
2 else they should have ceased to be offered, for as much as the worshippers cleansed once, had not furthermore conscience of sin [had no conscience of sin furthermore].
3 But in them [by oft offering] mind of sins is made by all years.
4 For it is impossible that sins be done away by blood of bulls, and of bucks of goats.
5 Therefore he entering into the world, saith, Thou wouldest not sacrifice and offering; but thou hast shaped a body to me;
6 [and] burnt sacrifices also for sin pleased not to thee.
7 Then I said, Lo! I come; in the beginning of the book it is written of me, that I do thy will, [thou] God.
8 He saying before, That thou wouldest not sacrifices, and offerings, and burnt sacrifices for sin [He above saying, or before, For thou wouldest not hosts, and offerings, and burnt sacrifices, for sin], nor those things be pleasant to thee, which be offered by the law,
9 then I said, Lo! I come, that I do thy will, God. He doeth away the first, that he make steadfast the second.
10 In which will we be hallowed by the offering of the body of Christ Jesus once.
11 And each priest is ready ministering each day, and oft times offering the same sacrifices, which be never able to do away sins.[a]
12 But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for evermore sitteth in the right half of God the Father [for evermore sitteth on the right half of God the Father];
13 from thenceforth abiding, till his enemies be put a stool of his feet [till his enemies be put a stool under his feet].
14 For by one offering he made perfect for ever hallowed men.
15 And the Holy Ghost witnesseth to us; for after that he said [forsooth afterward he said],
16 This is the testament, which I shall witness to them after those days, the Lord saith [saith the Lord], in giving my laws in the hearts of them, and in the souls of them I shall above write them;
17 and now I shall no more think on the sins and the wickedness of them [and wickednesses of them].
18 And where remission of these is, now is there none offering for sin.
