Context Readings

Christ's Death Takes Away Sins

1 NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God]; 2 else they would have discontinued to make the offering, because they who performed the service being once made clean, would have had no more sense of sins on their conscience. 3 But in these [sacrifices] there is a commemoration of sins every year.
