Hebrews - ch 10 v 1 - 20
- For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things; by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect:
- For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer:
- But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year.
- For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.
- Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:
- Holocausts for sin did not please thee.
- Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.
- In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.
- Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.
- In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.

- But this man offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God,
- From henceforth expecting, until his enemies be made his footstool.
- For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
- And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:
- And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts, and on their minds will I write them:
- And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
- Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
- Having therefore, brethren, a confidence in the entering into the holies by the blood of Christ;
- A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
