Hebrews 10:1-7

1For since the Law has only a shadow [just a pale representation] of the good things to come—not the very image of those things—it can never, by offering the same sacrifices continually year after year, make perfect those who approach [its altars].

2For if it were otherwise, would not these sacrifices have stopped being offered? For the worshipers, having once [for all time] been cleansed, would no longer have a consciousness of sin.

3But [as it is] these [continual] sacrifices bring a fresh reminder of sins [to be atoned for] year after year,

4for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5Therefore, when Christ enters into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You have not desired, But [instead] You have prepared a body for Me [to offer];

6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no delight.

7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come To do Your will, O God— [To fulfill] what is written of Me in the scroll of the book.’ ”
