Hebrews 10:1-22

1For the Law, since it has only 1a shadow of 2the good things to come and not the 3form of those things itself, 4can 5never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, 6make those who approach perfect. 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had 7consciousness of sins? 3But 8in 9those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4For it is 10impossible for the 11blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5Therefore, 12when He comes into the world, He says, “13You have not desired sacrifice and offering, But 14You have prepared a body for Me;615You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.716Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (It is written of Me in 17the scroll of the book) To do Your will, O God.’” 8After saying above, “18Sacrifices and offerings and 19whole burnt offerings and offerings 20for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), 9then He 21said, “22Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. 10By 23this will, we have been 24sanctified through 25the offering of 26the body of Jesus Christ 27once for all time.

11Every priest stands daily ministering and 28offering time after time the same sacrifices, which 29can never take away sins; 12but He, having offered one sacrifice 30for 31sins 32for all time, 33sat down at the right hand of God, 13waiting from that time onward 34until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. 14For by one offering He has 35perfected 36for all time those who are 37sanctified. 15And 38the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,16“39This is the covenant which I will make with them After those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws upon their hearts, And write them on their mind,” He then says,17“40And their sins and their lawless deeds I will no longer remember.” 18Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.

19Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we 41have confidence to 42enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by 43a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through 44the veil, that is, through His flesh, 21and since we have 45a great priest 46over the house of God, 22let’s 47approach God with a 48sincere heart in 49full assurance of faith, having our hearts 50sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies 51washed with pure water.
