Bible Verses About Sacrifices

for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

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 if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

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

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.

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

by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,

by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.
