Hebrews 10:4-10

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All

4 For a it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Consequently, b when Christ 1 came into the world, he said,
c "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.'"

8 When he said above, "You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in c sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, d "Behold, I have come to do your will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will e we have been sanctified through the offering of f the body of Jesus Christ g once for all.
