Hebrews 10:1-12

1ForG1063 theG3588 lawG3551 isG2192 only a shadowG4639 of theG3588 good thingsG18 to comeG3195, notG3756 theG3588 realitiesG1504G3588G4229 themselvesG846. It canG1410 neverG3763, by theG3588 sameG846 sacrificesG2378 offeredG4374 year after yearG1336G2596G1763, make perfectG5048 those whoG3588 draw nearG4334 to worship. 2If it could, would not the offerings have ceasedG3756G3973G4374? ForG1223 theG3588 worshipersG3000 would have been cleansedG2511 onceG530 for all, and wouldG2192 noG3367 longerG2089 have felt the guiltG4893 of their sinsG266.

3InsteadG235, thoseG846 sacrifices are an annualG2596G1763 reminderG364 of sinsG266, 4becauseG1063 it is impossibleG102 for the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 goatsG5131 to take awayG851 sinsG266. 5ThereforeG1352, when Christ cameG1525 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889, He saidG3004:

“SacrificeG2378 andG2532 offeringG4376 You did not desireG3756G2309,butG1161 a bodyG4983 You preparedG2675 for MeG1473.6In burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 sinG4012G266 offeringsYou took no delightG3756G2106.7ThenG5119 I saidG2036, ‘Here I amG2400, it is writtenG1125 aboutG4012 MeG1473 inG1722 the scrollG2777G975:I have comeG2240 to doG4160 YourG4771 willG2307, O GodG2316.’”1

8In the passage aboveG511 He saysG3004, “SacrificesG2378 andG2532 offeringsG4376, burnt offeringsG3646 andG2532 sinG4012G266 offerings You did not desireG3756G2309, norG3761 did You delight inG2106 them” (although they are offeredG4374 according toG2596 the lawG3551). 9ThenG5119 He addsG2046, “Here I amG2400, I have comeG2240 to doG4160 YourG4771 willG2307.” He takes awayG337 theG3588 firstG4413 toG2443 establishG2476 theG3588 secondG1208. 10And byG1722 thatG3739 willG2307, weG1510 have been sanctifiedG37 throughG1223 theG3588 sacrificeG4376 of theG3588 bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 once for allG2178.

Day after dayG2596G2250 everyG3956 priestG2409 standsG2476 to ministerG3008 andG2532 to offerG4374 again and againG4178 theG3588 sameG846 sacrificesG2378, whichG3748 canG1410 neverG3763 take awayG4014 sinsG266. 12ButG1161 when thisG3778 Priest had offeredG4374 for all timeG1519G3588G1336 oneG1520 sacrificeG2378 forG5228 sinsG266, He sat downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
