Hebrews 10:4-14

4For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.

5So when he came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.

6“Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight in.

7“Then I said, ‘Here I am: I have come – it is written of me in the scroll of the book – to do your will, O God.’”

8When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire nor did you take delight in them” (which are offered according to the law),

9then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first to establish the second.

10By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.

12But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God,

13where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.

14For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
