Using up the sacrificed meat
For they did not attempt the perfect itself in faith but in unbelief, not having known the scriptures, which the prophets were announcing. For "unless you believe you will not understand either." (Isaiah 7:9) "For I did not come to do my will but the will of the one who sent me," (John 6:38) and the will was that he be given for all who believe (John 5:30) (Matthew 22:29).
Greek
Οὐ γὰρ ἐν πίστει αὐτὸ τὸ τέλειον ἐπεχείρησαν ἀλλ' ἐν ἀπιστίᾳ, οὐκ ἐγνωκότες τὰς γραφάς, ἃς οἱ προφῆται ἤγγελον· τὸ γὰρ "ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσητε οὐδ' οὐ μὴ συνῆτε". "Οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον ποιῆσαι τὸ ἐμὸν θέλημα ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ πέμψαντός με", τὸ δὲ θέλημα ἦν τὸ δοθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων.
