Haweis(i)
1 NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God];
2 else they would have discontinued to make the offering, because they who performed the service being once made clean, would have had no more sense of sins on their conscience.
3 But in these [sacrifices] there is a commemoration of sins every year.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin.
5 Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me:
6 thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin:
7 then I said, Here am I; (in the volume of the book it is written of me) I come to do thy will, O God."
8 Having said before that sacrifice, and oblation, and whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou hast not chosen, nor takest pleasure in, (which are offered according to the law,)
9 he then added, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He abolishes the first that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
11 And every priest standeth indeed daily performing the divine service, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which cannot possibly take away sins:
12 but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God;
13 henceforth waiting till his enemies be put as a footstool for his feet.
14 For by one oblation he hath made those perfect for ever who are sanctified.
15 Now the Holy Ghost also beareth this testimony to us: for after declaring before,
16 "This is the testament which I will appoint to them after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their hearts, even on their minds will I inscribe them;"
17 [he adds,] "and their sins and their iniquities I will in no wise remember any more."
18 Now where there is remission of these, no more offering for sin [is needed].
