For the Law, since it has only ^(C1)a shadow of ^(C2)the good things to come and not the ^(F1)form of those things itself, ^(F2)can ^(C3)never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, ^(C4)make those who approach perfect.

Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had ^(C1)consciousness of sins?

But ^(C1)in ^(F1)those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

For it is ^(C1)impossible for the ^(C2)blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Therefore, ^(C1)when He comes into the world, He says, "^(C2)YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED SACRIFICE AND OFFERING, BUT ^(C3)YOU HAVE PREPARED A BODY FOR ME;

^(C1)YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN PLEASURE IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS FOR SIN.

-"^(C1)THEN I SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IT IS WRITTEN OF ME IN ^(C2)THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK) TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.'"

After saying above, "^(C1)SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND ^(C2)WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS ^(C3)FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE IN THEM" (which are offered according to the Law),

then He ^(F1)said, "^(C1)BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

By ^(F1)this will, we have been ^(C1)sanctified through ^(C2)the offering of ^(C3)the body of Jesus Christ ^(C4)once for all time.

Every priest stands daily ministering and ^(C1)offering time after time the same sacrifices, which ^(C2)can never take away sins;

but He, having offered one sacrifice ^(C1)for ^(F1)sins ^(C2)for all time, ^(C3)SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

waiting from that time onward ^(C1)UNTIL HIS ENEMIES ARE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

For by one offering He has ^(C1)perfected ^(C2)for all time those who are ^(F1)sanctified.

And ^(C1)the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

"^(C1)THIS 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,

"^(C1)AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL NO LONGER REMEMBER."

Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we ^(C1)have confidence to ^(C2)enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

by ^(C1)a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^(C2)the veil, that is, through His flesh,

and since we have ^(C1)a great priest ^(C2)over the house of God,

let's ^(C1)approach God with a ^(F1)sincere heart in ^(C2)full assurance of faith, having our hearts ^(C3)sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies ^(C4)washed with pure water.
