KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The old law was like a shadow of the amazing things God had planned — it gave you a hint of what was coming, but it wasn't the real deal. All those yearly sacrifices people kept making? They could never actually make anyone complete or whole.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
The old way was just a preview — it pointed to something better but could never finish the job.
