## Hebrews 10:1-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/1) For the law having a shadow of good things to come, *and* not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/2) For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/3) But in those *sacrifices there is* a remembrance again *made* of sins every year.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/4) For *it is* not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/5) Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
 
 [6 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/6) In burnt offerings and *sacrifices* for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/7) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/hebrews/10/8) Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and *offering* for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure *therein*; which are offered by the law;
