Hebrews 10:1–10

¹For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach. ²Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins? ³But in these there is a calling to mind of sins yearly. ⁴For blood of bulls and goats is incapable of taking away sins. ⁵Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body. ⁶Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.

⁷Then I said, Lo, I come (in the roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will. ⁸Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law); ⁹then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second; ¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
