So, by the very same sacrifices which they offer ceaselessly each year, they can never cause these to approach perfection. <A name="3"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Otherwise, they would have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, once cleansed, would no longer be conscious of any sin. <A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Instead, in these things, a commemoration of sins is made every year. <A name="5"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>For it is impossible for sins to be taken away by the blood of oxen and goats.<p> <A name="6"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/hebrews/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>For this reason, as Christ enters into the world, he says: “Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want.
