For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect. For in that case would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins? But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins every year. read more.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith: "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare for me; in whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I have comein the volume of the book it is written of meto do thy will, O God." Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law, then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second. And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service, and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God, thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified.


For when Moses had spoken every precept according to the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God enjoined in respect to you." The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the service he in like manner sprinkled with the blood. read more.
And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these. For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf. Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the highpriest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice. And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment; so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
