1

For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

2

For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

3

But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

4

Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.

5

So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me

6

You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

7

Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

8

After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

9

Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

10

By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

11

And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

12

But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God

13

And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

14

Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.

15

And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,

16

This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds he said,

17

And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

18

Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.
