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).
