Discovery BoxHebrews 10:10-18 
Context10:10 By his will 1 we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:11 And every priest stands day after day 2 serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins. 10:12 But when this priest 3 had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand 4 of God, 10:13 where he is now waiting 5 until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. 6 10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy. 10:15 And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us, for after saying, 7 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put 8 my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,” 9 10:17 then he says, 10 “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.” 11 10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
