Bible Verses About Offerings

and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you--an odour of a sweet smell--a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:

For every chief priest--out of men taken--in behalf of men is set in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

which is a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving,

for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,

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;

nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;

and as it is laid up to men once to die, and after this--judgment,

so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him--to salvation!

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,

in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,

then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

saying above--`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' --which according to the law are offered--

then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

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