²³ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, ²⁴ but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues ^(A)forever.

²⁷ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, ^(A)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this ^(B)once for all when he offered up himself.

¹¹ And every priest stands ^(A)daily at his service, ^(B)offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, ^(C)which can never take away sins. ¹² But when Christ^[a] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he ^(D)sat down at the right hand of God,

¹⁴ For by a single offering ^(A)he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

¹⁸ Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
