Epistle to the Hebrews

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

But in those sacrifices there is yearly reminder of sins.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;

In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.

Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me) To do your will, God.'"

Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law),

then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Every priest indeed stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
