3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
4 For ait is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
a“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
a“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law),
9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will,1 O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10 aBy that will we have been1 sanctified bthrough the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified
11 And every priest stands aministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 aBut this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down bat the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting atill His enemies are made His footstool.
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being1 sanctified.
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 a“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”
