5 For this reason, when Christ came into the world, he said, | 'You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me. 6 You did not approve of burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.' 7 Then I said, 'I have come! (It is written about me in the scroll of the book.) I have come to do what you want, my God.'| 8 In this passage Christ first said, |You did not want sacrifices, offerings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices for sin. You did not approve of them.| (These are the sacrifices that Moses' Teachings require people to offer.) 9 Then Christ says, |I have come to do what you want.| He did away with sacrifices in order to establish the obedience that God wants.
