Hebrews:10:1-18

* FOR the Law with a shadow of the good things that are coming , but not the very likeness of the things , cannot , by the same sacrifices which they offer constantly every year , ever make perfect those who come , * since would they not have ceased offering them ? Because the worshipers , once for all cleansed , would have had no consciousness of sins . * But in the sacrifices these are called to mind every year . * For the blood of bulls and goats is powerless to take away sins . * Therefore on coming into the world he says , "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire : a body thou hast prepared for me . * Whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not delight in . * Then I said , 'Here I have come \'97 in the roll of the book it is written of me \'97 to do thy will , O God .' " * He first says , "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin offerings thou dost not desire nor delight in ," such as are offered according to the Law , * and then he says , "Here I have come to do thy will ." He takes away the first to establish the second . * By this "will " we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . * Every priest stands daily doing service and offering many times the same sacrifices , although they never can take away sins . * But this Priest after offering one sacrifice for sins forever , took his seat at the right hand of God , * for the future only waiting until his enemies are made his footstool . * For by one offering he has forever perfected those who are made holy . * The Holy Spirit testifies this to us ; for after having said , * "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days , says the Lord : I will put my laws in their hearts and on their minds I will write them ," he adds , * "and their sins and their law-breakings I will remember no more ." * But where there is forgiveness of these , there is no longer any offering for sin .
