7. Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do Your will, O God,’ as it is written of Mein the volume of the book.”
8. Previously when He said, “You did not desire sacrifices and offerings. You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin,” which are offered in accordance with the law,
9. then He said, “See, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10. By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11. But every priest stands daily ministering and repetitively offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.
13. Since that time He has been waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.
14. For by one offering He has forever perfected those who are sanctified.
15. The Holy Spirit also witnesses to us about this. For after saying,
16. “This is the covenant that I will make with themafter those days, says the Lord:I will put My laws into their hearts,and in their minds I will write them,”
17. then He adds, “Their sins and lawless deedswill I remember no more.”
18. Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
19. Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20. by a new and living way that He has opened for us through the veil, that is to say, His flesh,
21. and since we have a High Priest over the house of God,
22. let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse them from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23. Let us firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24. And let us consider how to spur one another to love and to good works.
