010:001 For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near. 010:002 For then would not the sacrifices have ceased to be offered, because the consciences of the worshippers--who in that case would now have been cleansed once for all--would no longer be burdened with sins? 010:003 But in those sacrifices sins are recalled to memory year after year. 010:004 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 010:005 That is why, when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering Thou has not desired, but a body Thou hast prepared for Me. 010:006 In whole burnt-offerings and in sin-offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure. 010:007 Then I said, `I have come--in the roll of the book it is written concerning Me--to do Thy will, O God.'" 010:008 After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast not desired or taken pleasure in"--all such being offered in obedience to the Law-- 010:009 He then adds, "I have come to do Thy will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 010:010 It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all. 010:011 And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can never rid us of our sins-- 010:012 this Priest, on the contrary, after offering for sins a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy, took His seat at God's right hand, 010:013 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be put as a footstool under His feet. 010:014 For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin. 010:015 And the Holy Spirit also gives us His testimony; for when He had said, 010:016 "`This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days,' says the Lord: `I will put My laws upon their hearts and will write them on their minds;'" 010:017 He adds, "And their sins and offences I will remember no longer." 010:018 But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required. 010:019 Since then, brethren, we have free access to the Holy place through the blood of Jesus, 010:020 by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature-- 010:021 and since we have a great Priest who has authority over the house of God,
