Hebrews 10:1

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} the law{G3551} having{G2192}{(G5723)} a shadow{G4639} of good things{G18} to come{G3195}{(G5723)}, and not{G3756} the very{G846} image{G1504} of the things{G4229}, can{G1410}{(G5736)} never{G3763} with those{G846} sacrifices{G2378} which{G3739} they offered{G4374}{(G5719)} year by year{G2596}{G1763} continually{G1519}{G1336} make{G5048} the comers thereunto{G4334}{(G5740)} perfect{G5048}{(G5658)}.
Strong's King James
(1) For The Torah has a shadow of the good about to come. Not the same image of things which can never by these same sacrifices offered, make complete those who draw near continually year by year.
The F.O.G*
[1] The law was only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. This is why those annual sacrifices, repeated endlessly year after year, could never make perfect those who draw near to worship.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
For the law having a shadow of the coming good things—not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
