Hebrews 10:1-9 ▼

1 For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, make a perfect expiation for those who come to them:

2 for then, would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, after being once cleansed, would no longer have a consciousness of sins.

3 There is, however, in these sacrifices, a remembrance of sins every year.

4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;

6 in whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then, said I, Behold, I come, (in the roll of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, God.

8 After saying above, Thou didst neither desire, nor take pleasure in sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin, which are offered according to the law,

9 then he said, Behold, I come to do thy will: he takes away the first, that he may establish the second.
