New International Reader's Version

Hebrews 10:5-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

5. So when Christ came into the world, he said, "You didn't want sacrifices and offerings. Instead, you prepared a body for me.

6. You weren't pleased with burnt offerings and sin offerings.

7. Then I said, 'Here I am. It is written about me in the scroll. God, I have come to do what you want.' " (Psalm 40:6-8)

8. First Christ said, "You didn't want sacrifices and offerings. You didn't want burnt offerings and sin offerings. You weren't pleased with them." He said that even though the law required people to bring them.

9. Then he said, "Here I am. I have come to do what you want." He did away with the first. He did it to put the second in place.

10. We have been made holy by what God wanted. We have been made holy because Jesus Christ offered his body once and for all time.
