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—

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.
15 And we have the testimony of the holy Spirit to this, for after saying,
16 " 'This is the agreement that I will make with them In those later days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws into their minds, And write them upon their hearts,' " he goes on,
17 " 'And their sins and their misdeeds I will no longer remember.' "
18 But when these are forgiven, there is no more need of offerings for sin.
19 Since then, brothers, we have free access to the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,
