‏ Hebrews 10:7

 Then ( τοτε ). When it was plain that God could not be propitiated by such sacrifices.

 Lo, I am come ( Ιδου ηκω ). The Messiah is represented as offering himself to do God's will ( του ποιησα το θελημα σου, the genitive articular infinitive of purpose).

 In the roll of the book it is written of me ( εν κεφαλιδ βιβλιου γεγραπτα περ εμου ). Stands written ( γεγραπτα, perfect passive indicative).  Κεφαλις is a diminutive of  κεφαλη (head), a little head, then roll only here in N.T., but in the papyri. Here it refers "to the O.T. as a prediction of Christ's higher sacrifice" (Moffatt).
