10 The law is only an ·unclear picture [^Lshadow] of the good things coming in the future; it is not the ·real thing [reality itself; true image of them]. The people under the law offer the same sacrifices every year, but these sacrifices can never make perfect those who come near to worship God. ² If the law could make them perfect, the sacrifices would have already ·stopped [ceased; been abolished]. The worshipers would ·be made clean [^Lhave been cleansed/purified once for all; ^Cforever], and they would no longer have a ·sense of [consciousness of; feeling of guilt about] sin.
