For the Law, since it has only ^(a)a shadow of ^(b)the good things to come and not the very ^[a]form of things, ^[b]can ^(c)never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, ^(d)make perfect those who draw near.

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

But ^(f)in ^[c]those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

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

Therefore, ⁽ⁱ⁾when He comes into the world, He says, "^(j) Sacrifice and offering You have not desired , But ^(k) a body You have prepared for Me ;

^(l) In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure .

"^(m) Then I said, ‘Behold , I have come ( In ⁽ⁿ⁾ the scroll of the book it is written of Me ) To do Your will , O God .'"

After saying above, "^(o) Sacrifices and offerings and ^(p) whole burnt offerings and sacrifices ^(q) for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the Law),

then He ^[d]said, "^(r) Behold , I have come to do Your will ." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

By ^[e]this will we have been ^(s)sanctified through ^(t)the offering of ^(u)the body of Jesus Christ ^(v)once for all.

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

but He, having offered one sacrifice ^(y)for ^[f]sins ^(z)for all time, ^(aa) sat down at the right hand of God ,

waiting from that time onward ^(ab) until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet .

For by one offering He has ^(ac)perfected ^(ad)for all time those who are ^[g]sanctified.

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

"^(af) This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord : I will put My laws upon their heart , And on their mind I will write them ," He then says,

"^(ag) And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more ."

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