* Moreover , the law , containing only a shadow of the good things to come , and not the very image of these things , never can , with the same sacrifices which they offer every year continually , make those who come to them , perfect . * For then would they not have ceased to be offered : since the offerers being once purified , should not have had any more conscience of sins ? * but , in these , there is a remembrance of sins yearly . * Besides , it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins . * «Wherefore , when coming into the world , he says ,» 'Sacrifice and offering thou hast not willed ; but a body hast thou prepared me .' * In whole burnt offerings , and sin offerings , thou hast no pleasure . * «Then , said I , behold , I come to do thy will , O God ! (In the volume of the book it is written concerning me .)» * Having said above , the sacrifice , and offering ; and whole burnt offerings , and sin offerings thou hast not willed , neither has pleasure in them , (which are offered according to the law ,) * «and then he said ,» 'Behold , I come to do thy will .' 'He takes away the first will , that he may establish the second .' * By which WILL we are sanctified , through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once . * And , indeed , every priest stands , daily ministering , and offering often the same sacrifices , which never can take away sins : * but he , having offered only one sacrifice for sins , through his whole life , sat down at the right hand of God ; * thenceforth waiting till his enemies be made his footstool . * Wherefore , by one offering , he has perfected for ever the sanctified . * Moreover , also , the Holy Spirit testifies this to us ; for , after he has said , * «This is the institution which I will make with them after these days , says the Lord : I will put my laws into their hearts , and inscribe them on their minds ; he adds ,» * «and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more .» * Now , where remission of these is , there is no more offering for sin .
