1

For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

2

Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

3

But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

4

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

5

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me

6

In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

7

Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

8

Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),

9

then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10

By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11

And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:

12

but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God

13

henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.

14

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15

And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us for after he hath said,

16

This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them [then saith he,]

17

And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

18

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
