Hebrews 9:13-28

13For if the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022, and the ashesG4700 of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiledG2840, sanctifyG37 unto the cleanness of the fleshG4561: 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 shall the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, who through the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himself without blemish unto GodG2316, cleanseG2511 your conscienceG4893 from deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? 15And for this cause he isG1510 the mediatorG3316 of a newG2537 covenantG1242, that a deathG2288 having taken placeG1096 for the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that wereG1510 under the firstG4413 covenantG1242, they that have beenG1510 calledG2564 may receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 a testament is, there must of necessityG318 be the deathG2288 of him that madeG1303 it. 17For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that madeG1303 it liveth. 18Wherefore evenG3761 the firstG4413 covenant hath not been dedicated without bloodG129. 19For when every commandmentG1785 had been spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 unto all the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkled both the bookG975 itself and all the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, This is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 which GodG2316 commandedG1781 to you-ward. 21Moreover the tabernacleG4633 and all the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 he sprinkled in like manner with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, I may almostG4975 say, all thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and apartG5565 from shedding of bloodG129 there is no remission.

23It was necessaryG318 thereforeG3767 that the copies of the thingsG3778 in the heavensG3772 should be cleansedG2511 with these; but the heavenlyG2032 thingsG3778 themselves with better sacrificesG2378 than these. 24For ChristG5547 enteredG1525 not into a holyG40 place made with handsG5499, like in pattern to the trueG228; but into heavenG3772 itself, nowG3568 to appear before the faceG4383 of GodG2316 for us: 25nor yet that he should offerG4374 himself oftenG4178, as the highG749 priestG749 entereth into the holyG40 place yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 not his ownG1438; 26else must he oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 since the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: but nowG1161 onceG530 at the end of the agesG165 hath he been manifestedG5319 to put awayG575 sinG266 by the sacrificeG2378 of himself. 27And inasmuch as it is appointed unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, and after this cometh judgmentG2920; 28so ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been onceG530 offeredG4374 to bear the sinsG266 of manyG4183, shall appear a secondG1208 timeG1208, apartG5565 from sinG266, to them that wait for him, unto salvationG4991.
