1 For the Law which has a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, [appearing] year by year with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually, they are never able to perfect those drawing near.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, when they had been once for all purged, would have had no more conscience of sin.

3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again of sins every year.

4 For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
