5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,w he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,

but a body you prepared for me;x

6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings

you were not pleased.

7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scrolly—

I have come to do your will, my God.’ ”a z

8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”a—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”b He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holyc through the sacrifice of the bodyd of Jesus Christ once for all.e

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,f which can never take away sins.g 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,h he sat down at the right hand of God,i 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.j 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfectk forever those who are being made holy.l
