4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
but a body You prepared for Me.
6In burnt offerings and sin offerings
You took no delight.
7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll:
I have come to do Your will, O God.’”
8In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).
9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.
10And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.
13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
16“This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord.
I will put My laws in their hearts
and inscribe them on their minds.”
17Then He adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.
19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
