In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

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

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 This 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;

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

with burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(A)
    I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](B)

First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(C)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(D) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(E) through the sacrifice of the body(F) of Jesus Christ once for all.(G)

11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(H) which can never take away sins.(I) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(J) he sat down at the right hand of God,(K) 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(L) 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(M) forever those who are being made holy.(N)

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies(O) to us about this. First he says:

16 “This is the covenant I will make with them
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”[b](P)

17 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”[c](Q)
