HEBREWS 10
- For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the image itself of the things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, perfect those who draw near.
- Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, because those worshipping, having once been purified, would have no longer had the consciousness of sins?
- But in those sacrifices there is a bringing to mind of sins year by year;
- For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
- Therefore, coming into the world, He says, Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.
- In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You did not delight.
- Then I said, Behold, I have come (in the roll of the book it is written concerning Me) to do Your will, O God.
- Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You did not desire nor delight in (which are offered according to the law),
- He then has said, Behold, I have come to do Your will. He takes away the first that He may establish the second,
- By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
- And every priest stands daily, ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never remove sins;
- But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on the right hand of God,
- Henceforth waiting until His enemies are made the footstool for His feet.
- For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
- And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after having said,
- This is the covenant which I will covenant with them after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws upon their hearts, and upon their mind I will inscribe them,
- He then says, And their sins and their lawlessnesses I shall by no means remember anymore.
- Now where forgiveness of these is, there is no longer an offering for sin.
