1 For the lawe (hauynge the shadowe of good thynges to come, and not the very fasshion of the thinges them selues) can neuer with those sacrifices which they offer; yeare by yeare continually make the commers therunto parfayt.
2 For wold not then those sacrifices haue ceased to haue bene offred, because that the offerers once purged shuld haue had no more conscience of synnes?
3 Neuerthelesse, in those sacrifyces, is there mencyon made of synnes euery yeare.
4 For the bloude of oxen and of goates can not take awaye synnes.
5 Wherfore, when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacryfyce and offerynge thou woldest not haue: but a bodye hast thou ordeyned me:
6 Burnt offerynges also for synne hast thou not alowed.
7 Then sayd I: lo, I am here. In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me, that I shuld do thy will, o God.
8 Aboue, when he sayeth: sacryfice & offeryng, & burnt sacryfyces and synne offerynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast thou alowed them (whiche yet are offered by the lawe)
9 then sayd he: Lo, I am here, to do thy wyll, o God: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter,
10 by wych will we are made holy, euyn by the offeryng of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.
11 And euery prest is ready dayly ministring and offryng often tymes one maner of oblacion, which can neuer take awaye synnes.
12 But thys man after he hath offered one sacrifice for synnes, is set downe for euer on the ryght hand of God,
13 & from hence forth taryeth tyll his foes be made his fote stole.
14 For wt one offeringe hath he made parfecte for euer, them that are sanctyfyed.
15 The holy goost him self also beareth vs recorde, euen when he tolde before:
16 This is the testament that I wyll make vnto them: after those dayes (sayth the lorde) I will put my lawes in their hertes, & in their myndes will I write them,
17 & their synnes & iniquities will I remember nomore.
18 And where remission of these thynges is, ther is nomore offeryng for synne.
