*
For the law ,
being only a shadow of the good things to come ,
and not the very image of the things ,
can never by those sacrifices ,
which are offered year by year ,
continually ,
make perfect those who draw near .
*
Otherwise ,
would they not have ceased being offered ?
because the worshippers ,
once cleansed ,
would no longer have had a consciousness of sins .
*
But those sacrifices are a reminder of sins every year .
*
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins .
*
Therefore ,
when he came into the world ,
he said ,
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire ,
but a body you have prepared for me ;
*
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure .
*
Then I said ,
Lo ,
I come (
in the scroll of the book it is written of me ,)
to do your will ,
O God .
*
After he said above ,
Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sin you did not desire ,
neither did you have pleasure in them ,
which are offered according to the law ;
*
Then said he ,
Lo ,
I come to do your will ,
O God .
He takes away the first ,
that he may establish the second .
*
And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all .
*
Every priest stands daily ministering and offering ,
time and again ,
the same sacrifices ,
which can never take away sins .
*
But this man ,
after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever ,
sat down on the right hand of God ;
*
From that time on waiting until his enemies are made his footstool .
*
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified .
*
And the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us :
for after he said ,
*
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days ,
says the Lord ,
I will put my laws into their hearts ,
and in their minds I will write them ;
*
Then he adds ,
Their sins and iniquities I will remember no more .
*
Now where there is forgiveness of these ,
there is no longer an offering for sin .
