The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

10:1FOR the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

10:2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

10:3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

10:4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

10:5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Selected passage

10:7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

10:9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10:10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

10:11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

10:12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

10:13From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

10:14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

10:15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

10:16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

10:17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

10:18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
