11 Every day the priests stand and do their religious service. Again and again they offer the same sacrifices. But those sacrifices can never take away sins. 12 But Christ offered one sacrifice for sins, and it is good forever. Then he sat down at the right side of God. 13 And now Christ waits there for his enemies to be put under his power. 14 With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

15 The Holy Spirit also tells us about this. First he says:

16 “In the future I will make this agreement[a]
    with the people of Israel, says the Lord.
I will put my teachings in their hearts.
    And I will write them on their minds.” Jeremiah 31:33

17 Then he says:

“Their sins and the evil things they do—
    I will not remember anymore.” Jeremiah 31:34

18 And when these have been forgiven, there is no more need for a sacrifice for sins.
