Hebrews 10:1-10 FOR the law had in it a shadow of the good things to come, but was not the essence of the things themselves; hence although the same sacrifices were offered every year, they could not perfect those who offered them.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ FOR the law had in it a shadow of the good things to come, but was not the essence of the things themselves; hence although the same sacrifices were offered every year, they could not perfect those who offered them. ² For if they had once been perfected, they would have ceased from their offerings; for, from henceforth their minds would not have driven them into the sins from which they had once been cleansed. ³ But in those sacrifices they remembered their sins every year. ⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats could take away sins. ⁵ Therefore, when he entered into the world, he said: Sacrifices and offerings thou didst not desire, but a body thou hast prepared me: ⁶ Burnt offering and sin offering thou has not required. ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come, in the beginning of the books, it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O God. ⁸ Above when he said: Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and offerings for sins, thou wouldst not, the very ones which were offered according to the law: ⁹ And after that he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. Thus he put an end to the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ By this very will, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
