11 But when Christ appeared as a (A)high priest of the (B)good things [a]having come, He entered through (C)the greater and more perfect [b]tabernacle, (D)not made by hands, that is, (E)not of this creation; 12 and not through (F)the blood of goats and calves, but (G)through His own blood, He (H)entered the holy place (I)once for all time, [c]having obtained (J)eternal redemption. 13 For if (K)the blood of goats and bulls, and (L)the [d]ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the [e]cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will (M)the blood of Christ, who through [f](N)the eternal Spirit (O)offered Himself without blemish to God, (P)cleanse your conscience from (Q)dead works to serve (R)the living God?

24 For Christ (A)did not enter a holy place made by hands, a mere copy of (B)the true one, but into (C)heaven itself, now (D)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as (E)the high priest enters (F)the Holy Place (G)year by year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since (H)the foundation of the world; but now (I)once at (J)the consummation of the ages He has been (K)revealed to put away sin [a](L)by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And just as (M)it is destined for people to die once, and after this (N)comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been (O)offered once to (P)bear the sins of many, will appear (Q)a second time for (R)salvation (S)without reference to sin, to those who (T)eagerly await Him.

  1. Hebrews 9:26 Or by His sacrifice

11 Every priest stands daily ministering and (A)offering time after time the same sacrifices, which (B)can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice (C)for [a]sins (D)for all time, (E)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward (F)until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has (G)perfected (H)for all time those who are [b]sanctified. 15 And (I)the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

16 (J)This is the covenant which I will make with them
After those days, declares the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their hearts,
And write them on their mind,”

He then says,

17 (K)And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will no longer remember.”

18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.

A New and Living Way

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we (L)have confidence to (M)enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by (N)a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through (O)the veil, that is, through His flesh,
