6 Holocausts for sin did not please thee.
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll— I have come to do your will, my God.’ ”
8 In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.
9 Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.
9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.

16 And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them:
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.”
17 And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.
17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.
18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
