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.
