*
For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come ,
and not having the very image of the things ,
can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect .
*
For in that case would they not have ceased to be offered ,
because the worshippers ,
having been once purified ,
would have had no more consciousness of sins ?
*
But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year .
*
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins .
*
Wherefore ,
when he cometh into the world ,
he saith : "
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not ,
but a body didst thou prepare for me ;
*
in whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure .
*
Then said I ,
Lo ,
I have come
in the volume of the book it is written of me
to do thy will ,
O God ."
*
Saying above , "
Sacrifices and offerings ,
and whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not ,
and hadst no pleasure in them ,"
such as are offered in conformity to the Law ,
*
then hath he said , "
Lo ,
I have come to do thy will ."
He setteth aside the first ,
that he may establish the second .
*
And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all .
*
And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service ,
and offering again and again the same sacrifices ,
which can never take away sins ;
*
but he ,
after he had offered one sacrifice for sins ,
sat down for ever on the right hand of God ,
*
thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool .
*
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified .
*
Moreover the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us of this .
For after he had said ,
* "
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days ,"
the Lord saith , "
I will put my laws into their hearts ,
and in their minds will I write them ,
*
and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more ."
*
But where there is remission of these ,
there is no longer offering for sin .
