Hebrews 9:25-10:10
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
25 He did not do this to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.(A) 26 Otherwise, he would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once, at the end of the ages,(B) for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.(C) 27 And just as it is appointed for people to die once – and after this, judgement(D) – 28 so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,(E) will appear a second time,(F) not to bear sin, but[a] to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.(G)
The Perfect Sacrifice
10 Since the law has only a shadow of the good things(H) to come, and not the reality itself of those things, it can never perfect the worshippers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. 2 Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshippers, purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, as he was coming into the world, he said:
You did not desire sacrifice and offering,
but you prepared a body for me.
6 You did not delight
in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.
7 Then I said, ‘See –
it is written about me
in the scroll –
I have come to do your will, God.’[b](I)
8 After he says above, You did not desire or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law(J)), 9 he then says, See, I have come to do your will.[c] He takes away the first to establish the second. 10 By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.(K)
