Hebrews 10:1–10

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

¹For the Law, since it has only ^aa shadow of ^bthe good things to come and not the very ¹form of things, ²can ^cnever, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, ^dmake perfect those who draw near.

²Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have ^aconsciousness of sins?

³But ^ain ¹those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

⁴For it is ^aimpossible for the ^bblood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵Therefore, ^awhen He comes into the world, He says,

“^bSacrifice and offering You have not desired,

But ^ca body You have prepared for Me;

^6aIn burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.

⁷“^aThen I Said, ‘Behold, I have come,

In ^bthe scroll of the book it is written of Me,

To do Your will, O God.’”

⁸After saying above, “^aSacrifices and offerings and ^bburnt offerings and sacrifices ^cfor sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law),

⁹then He ¹said, “^aBehold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

¹⁰By ¹this will we have been ^asanctified through ^bthe offering of ^cthe body of Jesus Christ ^donce for all.
