The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified? Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

8 saying above -- 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered -- When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them|—though they were offered in accordance with the law.
9 then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second.

10 in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, -- But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.

29 of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

34 for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
