King James Version:
(The Lord speaking is red text)
¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Complete Jewish Bible:
For the Torah has in it a shadow of the good things to come, but not the actual manifestation of the originals. Therefore, it can never, by means of the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, bring to the goal those who approach the Holy Place to offer them.
Berean Standard Bible:
For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
American Standard Version:
For the law having a shadow of the goodthingsto come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.
KJV with Strong’s Numbers:
For{G1063} the law{G3551} having{G2192} a shadow{G4639} of good things{G18} to come{G3195}, and not{G3756} the very{G846} image{G1504} of the things{G4229}, can{G1410} never{G3763} with those{G846} sacrifices{G2378} which{G3739} they offered{G4374} year by year{G2596}{G1763} continually{G1519}{G1336} make{G5048} the comers thereunto{G4334} perfect{G5048}.
