Forever Perfect

8 After saying above, "(A) Sacrifices and offerings and (B) whole burnt offerings and sacrifices (C) for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the Law), 9 then He said, "(D) Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

10 By this will we have been (E) sanctified through (F) the offering of (G) the body of Jesus Christ (H) once for all.

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and (I) offering time after time the same sacrifices, which (J) can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice (K) for sins (L) for all time, (M) sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward (N) until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.

14 For by one offering He has (O) perfected (P) for all time those who are sanctified.

15 And (Q) the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, 16 "(R) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put my laws upon their heart, and on their mind I will write them," He then says, 17 "(S) and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

-Hebrews 10:8-18
