1 For the law having a shadow of good things about to be, not the same image of the things, with these sacrifices which they bring in yearly in continuance never can render perfect them coming thereto. 2 For would they not have ceased to be brought in? because they serving have no more consciousness of sins, once purified. 3 But in these, a reminding of sins yearly. 4 For the blood of bulls and he-goats cannot take away sins. 5 Wherefore coming into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering then wouldest not, but a body hast thou adjusted to me: 6 And with whole burnt offering for sin wast thou not contented. 7 Then said I, Behold, I am here (in the head of the book it was written of me,) O God, to do thy will.
