1 For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

2 Or else would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

3 But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

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