Hebrews 10:1-14 For while the Law foreshadowed the blessings that were to come, it did not fully express them, and so the priests by offering the same sacrifices endlessly year after year cannot wholly free those who come to worship from their sins.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For while the Law foreshadowed the blessings that were to come, it did not fully express them, and so the priests by offering the same sacrifices endlessly year after year cannot wholly free those who come to worship from their sins. ² Otherwise, would they not have ceased to offer these sacrifices, because those who offered them, having once been purified, would have had no further consciousness of sin? ³ They really only serve to remind the people annually of the sins they have committed, ⁴ for bulls' and goats' blood is powerless to remove sin. ⁵ That is why the Christ, when he was coming into the world, said, "You have not wished sacrifice or offering, but you have provided a body for me. ⁶ You never cared for burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin! ⁷ So I said, 'See, I have come! as the Book of the Law says of me, O God, to do your will!' " ⁸ At first he says, "You never wished or cared for sacrifices or offerings, or burnt-offerings or sacrifices for sin"—all of which the Law prescribes— ⁹ and then he adds, "See, I have come to do your will!" He is taking away the old to put the new in its place. ¹⁰ And it is through his doing of God's will that we have been once for all purified from sin through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ in sacrifice. ¹¹ Every other priest stands officiating day after day, offering over and over again the same sacrifices, though they were powerless ever to remove people's sins. ¹² But Christ has offered for all time one sacrifice for sin, and has taken his seat at God's right hand, ¹³ from that time waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool. ¹⁴ For by that one sacrifice he has forever qualified those who are purified from sin to approach God.
