Goodspeed(i)
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.
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,
20 by the new, living way which he has opened for us, through the curtain, that is, his physical nature,
21 and since in him we have a great priest set over the house of God,
22 let us draw near to God in sincerity of heart and with perfect faith, with our hearts cleansed from the sense of sin, and our bodies washed with clean water.
