¹⁷ Further, I say this: a covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ cannot be annulled by the law that came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the promise of no effect. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance were of the law, it would no longer be of promise, but God granted it to Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ Why then the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the inheritance had been promised; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ (Now that mediator is not for just one, but God is one.) ²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Of course not! Rather, if a law had been given that was capable of imparting life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. ²² But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. ²³ Now before this faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, in confinement until the coming faith was revealed. ²⁴ So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.

³ However, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, ⁴ because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Therefore, upon coming into the world He says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for me; ⁶ with burnt offerings and sin offerings You were not pleased. ⁷ Then I said, ‘Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God—thus it is written about me in the scroll of the book.’” ⁸ First He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (which are offered according to the Law), ⁹ then He says, “Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He removes the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ Now every priest has stood ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices that can never take away sins; ¹² but He Himself, having offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, sat down at God’s right.
