Hebrews 10:7

Jesus ChristGod's will and callingObedience

5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

6 In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

8 In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

9 Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.
