Christ’s Perfect Sacrifice (Psalm 40:1–17)
1 TNT For the lawe which hath but the shadowe of good thynges to come and not the thynges in their awne fassion can never with the sacryfises which they offer yere by yere continually make the comers thervnto parfayte.

It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 TNT For wolde not then those sacrifises have ceased to have bene offered because that the offerers once pourged shuld have had no moare conscieces of sinnes. BSB BSB: If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.
3 TNT Neverthelesse in those sacrifises is ther mencion made of synnes every yeare. BSB BSB: Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,

5 TNT Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not have: but a bodie hast thou ordeyned me. BSB BSB: Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.
6 TNT In sacrifices and synne offerynges thou hast no lust. BSB BSB: In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.
7 TNT Then I sayde: Lo I come in the chefest of the boke it is written of me that I shuld doo thy will o god. BSB BSB: Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”
8 TNT Above when he had sayed sacrifice and offerynge and burnt sacrifices and synne offerynges thou woldest not have nether hast alowed (which yet are offered by the lawe) BSB BSB: 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 TNT and then sayde: Lo I come to do thy will o god: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter. BSB BSB: Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

15 TNT And the holy goost also beareth vs recorde of this even when he tolde before: BSB BSB: The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
16 TNT This is the testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes sayth the lorde. I will put my lawes in their hertes and in their mynde I will write them BSB BSB: “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”
17 TNT and their synnes and iniquyties will I remember no moare. BSB BSB: Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 TNT And where remission of these thinges is there is no moare offerynge for synne. BSB BSB: And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

26 TNT For yf we synne willyngly after that we have receaved the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for synnes BSB BSB: If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,
27 TNT but a fearfull lokynge for iudgement and violent fyre which shall devoure the adversaries BSB BSB: but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.
28 TNT He that despiseth Moses lawe dyeth with out mercy vnder two or thre witnesses. BSB BSB: Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 TNT Of how moche sorer punyshment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy which treadeth vnderfote the sonne of god: and counteth the bloude of the testament as an vnholy thynge wherwith he was sanctified and doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace. BSB BSB: How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
