5 When Christ came into the world, he said to God,“Sacrifices and offeringsare not what you want,but you have given memy body.
6 No, you are not pleasedwith animal sacrificesand offerings for sin.”
7 Then Christ said,“And so, my God,I have come to dowhat you want,as the Scriptures say.”
8 The Law teaches that offerings and sacrifices must be made because of sin. But why did Christ mention these things and say that God did not want them?
9 Well, it was to do away with offerings and sacrifices and to replace them. This is what he meant by saying to God, “I have come to do what you want.”
10 So we are made holy because Christ obeyed God and offered himself once for all.
11 The priests do their work each day, and they keep on offering sacrifices that can never take away sins.
