Bible Verses About Law

saying, `This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle,

and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter--figures of the true--but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us;

For the law having a shadow of the coming good things--not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,

since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?

but in those sacrifices is a remembrance of sins every year,

for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,

and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered--to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --

as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool,

for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

`This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'

and where forgiveness of these is , there is no more offering for sin.

For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,
