1
For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those things, can never, with those sacrifices which they offered continually year by year, make those who come unto it perfect.
2
For then would not sacrifices have ceased to be offered? For worshipers once purged should have had no more consciousness of sins.
3
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year,
4
for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5
Therefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, "Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not have, but a body hast Thou prepared for Me.
6
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.
7
Then said I, `Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.'"
8
Above when He said, "Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings, and offering for sin Thou wouldest not have, neither hadst pleasure therein" (which are offered in accordance with the law),
9
then said He, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God," He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.
10
By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
