Hebrews 10:1-18

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient

¹For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the form of those things itself, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually every year, make those who approach perfect. ²Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? ³But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. ⁴For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,

“You have not desired sacrifice and offering,

But You have prepared a body for Me;

6You have not taken pleasure in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin.

7“Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come

(It is written of Me in the scroll of the book)

To do Your will, O God.’ ”

⁸After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), ⁹then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.

¹¹Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; ¹²but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³waiting from that time onward until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. ¹⁴For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. ¹⁵And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

16“This is the covenant which I will make with them

After those days, declares the Lord:

I will put My laws upon their hearts,

And write them on their mind,”

He then says,

17“And their sins and their lawless deeds

I will no longer remember.”

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