38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
38 I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
7 Then I said, 'Here I am-it is written about me in the scroll- I have come to do your will, my God.' "
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.'"
7 So I said, "I'm here to do it your way, O God, the way it's described in your Book."
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come-- In the volume of the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God.' "
7 Then I said, 'Look, I have come to do your will, OÂ God- as is written about me in the Scriptures.'"
(Read Hebrews 10:1-10)
The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when "God manifested in the flesh," became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must of his own will place himself in the sinner's stead: Christ did so. The fountain of all that Christ has done for his people, is the sovereign will and grace of God. The righteousness brought in, and the sacrifice once offered by Christ, are of eternal power, and his salvation shall never be done away. They are of power to make all the comers thereunto perfect; they derive from the atoning blood, strength and motives for obedience, and inward comfort.
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second.
9 then he added, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
9 When he added, "I'm here to do it your way," he set aside the first in order to enact the new plan -
9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
9 Then he said, "Look, I have come to do your will." He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 6:38
Commentary on John 6:36-46
(Read John 6:36-46)
The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation. The Father's will is, that not one of those who were given to the Son, should be rejected or lost by him. No one will come, till Divine grace has subdued, and in part changed his heart; therefore no one who comes will ever be cast out. The gospel finds none willing to be saved in the humbling, holy manner, made known therein; but God draws with his word and the Holy Ghost; and man's duty is to hear and learn; that is to say, to receive the grace offered, and consent to the promise. None had seen the Father but his beloved Son; and the Jews must expect to be taught by his inward power upon their minds, and by his word, and the ministers whom he sent among them.
