Hebrews 10:1-10 For in the law there was a shadow of the good things to come; not the substance of the things themselves. Therefore, although the same sacrifices were every year offered, they could never perfect those who offered them.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For in the law there was a shadow of the good things to come; not the substance of the things themselves. Therefore, although the same sacrifices were every year offered, they could never perfect those who offered them. ² For, if they had perfected them, they would long ago have desisted from their offerings; because their conscience could no more disquiet them, who were once purified, on account of their sins. ³ But in those sacrifices, they every year recognized their sins. ⁴ For the blood of bulls and of goats cannot purge away sins. ⁵ Therefore, when entering the world, he said: In sacrifices and oblations, thou hast not had pleasure; but thou hast clothed me with a body. ⁶ And holocausts on account of sins, thou hast not asked. ⁷ Then I said: Behold I come, as it is written of me in the beginning of the books, to do thy pleasure, O God. ⁸ He first said: Sacrifices and oblations and holocausts for sins, which were offered according to the law, thou desiredst not; ⁹ and afterwards he said: Behold I come to do thy pleasure, O God: hereby, he abolished the former, that he might establish the latter. ¹⁰ For by this his pleasure, we are sanctified; through the offering of the body of Jesus the Messiah a single time.
