1For 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.
2For 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?
3But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.
4Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.
5So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;
6You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.
7Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).
