Hebrews 10:1–18

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.

¹¹And every priest stands daily ministering and ^aoffering time after time the same sacrifices, which ^bcan never take away sins;

¹²but He, having offered one sacrifice ^afor ¹sins ^bfor all time, ^csat down at the right hand of God,

¹³waiting from that time ^auntil His enemies are put as a footstool for His feet.

¹⁴For by one offering He has ^aperfected ^bfor all time those who are being sanctified.

¹⁵And ^athe Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁶“^aThis is the covenant that I will make with them

After those days, says the ¹Lord:

I will put My laws upon their heart,

And on their mind I will write them,”

He then says,

¹⁷“^aAnd their sins and their lawless deeds

I will remember no more.”

¹⁸Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
