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

2 Otherwise, they would cease to offer them, because those that sacrifice, once purged, would have no more conscience of sin.

3 But in these [sacrifices] each year [the same] remembrance of sins is made.

4 For the blood of bulls and of goats cannot take away sins.
