For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

Διοτι ο νομος, εχων σκιαν των μελλοντων αγαθων, ουχι αυτην την εικονα των πραγματων, δεν δυναται ποτε δια των αυτων θυσιων, τας οποιας προσφερουσι κατ' ενιαυτον παντοτε να τελειοποιηση τους προσερχομενους·

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.
