1 For the law having the shadow of good things to come, not the real image of the things, annually with the same sacrifices which they offer continually, is by no means able to make perfect those coming to it: 2 since in that case would they not have ceased being offered, because the worshipers having once been purified would have had no more conscience of sins? 3 But in the same sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins annually; 4 for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5 Therefore, coming into the world, he says; Sacrifice an offering thou willest not, but thou hast perfected for me a body: 6 whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins thou wast not pleased with: 7 then I said, Lo, I come in the volume of the Book it has been written of me to do thy will, O God.
