But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
[12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but
by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
[13]
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to
the purifying of the flesh:
[14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
[15]
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption
of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise
of eternal inheritance.
[16] For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the
testator.
[17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth.
[18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
[19] For when
Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and
of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
[20]
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
[21] Moreover he sprinkled
with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
[22] And almost all things are by the
law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
[23] It was therefore necessary that
the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves
with better sacrifices than these.
[24] For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands,
which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
[25]
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with
blood of others;
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now
once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
[27] And as
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
[28] So Christ was once offered to bear
the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Heb.10
[1] For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never
with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
[2]
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should
have had no more conscience of sins.
[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
sins every year.
[4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
[5]
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body
hast thou prepared me:
[6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
[7] Then
said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
[8] Above when
he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst
pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and
offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12] But this man, after he had
offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13] From henceforth expecting
till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified.
[15] Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
[16] This
is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their
hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
[17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[18]
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
[19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[21] And having an high priest over the house of God;
[22]
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
[23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without
wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and
to good works:
[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
[26] For if we sin wilfully
after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
