Hebrews 10:3-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. But in those sacrifices there is only a yearly remembrance of sins,

4. for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats take away sins.

5. For this reason, when he came into the world, he said:“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,but a body you prepared for me;

6. holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight in.

7. Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll,Behold, I come to do your will, O God.’”

8. First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in.” These are offered according to the law.

9. Then he says, “Behold, I come to do your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

10. By this “will,” we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11. Every priest stands daily at his ministry, offering frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins.

12. But this one offered one sacrifice for sins, and took his seat forever at the right hand of God;

13. now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool.

14. For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated.
