Hebrews 10:1-9 For as the Law has a mere shadow of the bliss that is to be, instead of representing the reality of that bliss, it never can perfect those who draw near with the same annual sacrifices that are perpetually offered.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For as the Law has a mere shadow of the bliss that is to be, instead of representing the reality of that bliss, it never can perfect those who draw near with the same annual sacrifices that are perpetually offered. ² Otherwise, they would surely have ceased to be offered; for the worshippers, once cleansed, would no longer be conscious of sins! ³ As it is, they are an annual reminder of sins ⁴ (for the blood of bulls and goats cannot possibly remove sins!). ⁵ Hence, on entering the world he says, Thou hast no desire for sacrifice or offering; it is a body thou hast prepared for me — ⁶ in holocausts and sin-offerings thou takest no delight. ⁷ So I said, 'Here I come — in the roll of the book this is written of me — I come to do thy will, O God.' ⁸ He begins by saying, thou hast no desire for, thou takest no delight in, sacrifices and offerings and holocausts and sin-offerings (and these are what are offered in terms of the Law); ⁹ he then adds, Here I come to do thy will. He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
