Hebrews 10:1-16
Hebrews 10:1-16 (GNT)
1The Jewish Law is not a full and faithful model of the real things; it
is only a faint outline of the good things to come. The same sacrifices
are offered forever, year after year. How can the Law, then, by means of
these sacrifices make perfect the people who come to God? 2If the people
worshiping God had really been purified from their sins, they would not
feel guilty of sin any more, and all sacrifices would stop. 3As it is,
however, the sacrifices serve year after year to remind people of their
sins. 4For the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins. 5For
this reason, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to
God:
You do not want sacrifices and offerings,
but you have prepared a body for me.
6You are not pleased with animals burned whole on the altar
or with sacrifices to take away sins.
7Then I said, Here I am,
to do your will, O God,
just as it is written of me in . 11Every Jewish priest performs his
services every day and offers the same sacrifices many times; but these
sacrifices can never take away sins. 12Christ, however, offered one
sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat
down at the right side of God. 13There he now waits until God puts his
enemies as a footstool under his feet. 14With one sacrifice, then, he has
made perfect forever those who are purified from sin. 15And the Holy
Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says,
16This is the covenant that I will make with them
in the days to come, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts
and write them on their minds.
