Hebrews 10:1; Hebrews 10:3-4; Hebrews 10:8; Hebrews 10:11

1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming. It is not the real things themselves. The same sacrifices have to be offered over and over again. They must be offered year after year. That's why the law can never make perfect those who come near to worship.

3 But those offerings remind people of their sins every year.

4 It isn't possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

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.

11 Day after day every priest stands and does his special duties. He offers the same sacrifices again and again. But they can never take away sins.
