Hebrews 9:11-24

11ButG1161 when ChristG5547 came asG3854 high priestG749 of theG3588 good thingsG18 that have comeG1096,1 He went through theG3588 greaterG3173 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633 thatG3778 isG1510 notG3756 made by handsG5499 and is notG3756 a part of thisG3778 creationG2937. 12He did not enter byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 He enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 Most Holy PlaceG40 once for allG2178 byG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, thus securingG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085.

13ForG1063 ifG1487 theG3588 bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 bullsG5022 andG2532 the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinkledG4472 on those who areG3588 ceremonially uncleanG2840 sanctifyG37 them so thatG4314 their bodiesG4561 are cleanG2514, 14how muchG4214 moreG3123 will theG3588 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 unblemishedG299 to GodG2316, purifyG2511 ourG14732 consciencesG4893 fromG575 worksG2041 of deathG3498, so thatG1519 we may serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316!

15

ThereforeG1223G3778 Christ isG1510 the mediatorG3316 of a newG2537 covenantG1242, so thatG3704 those whoG3588 are calledG2564 may receiveG2983 theG3588 promisedG1860 eternalG166 inheritanceG2817, now that He has diedG2288G1096 toG1519 redeemG629 them from theG3588 transgressionsG3847 committed underG1909 theG3588 firstG4413 covenantG1242.

16

In the case ofG3699 a willG1242,3 it is necessaryG318 to establishG5342 the deathG2288 of theG3588 one who madeG1303 it, 17becauseG1063 a willG1242 does not take effectG949 untilG1909 theG3588 one who madeG1303 it has diedG3498; it cannot be executedG4218G3361G2480 whileG3753 he is still aliveG2198.

18That is whyG3606 even theG3588 firstG4413 covenant was not put into effectG3761G1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. 19ForG1063 when MosesG3475 had proclaimedG2980 everyG3956 commandmentG1785 ofG2596 theG3588 lawG3551 to allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, he tookG2983 theG3588 bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 goatsG5131,4 along withG3326 waterG5204, scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 theG3588 scrollG975 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is theG3588 bloodG129 of theG3588 covenantG1242, whichG3739 GodG2316 has commandedG1781 youG4771 to keep.”5

21

In the same wayG3668, he sprinkledG4472 withG3588 bloodG129 theG3588 tabernacleG4633 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 vesselsG4632 used inG3588 worshipG3009. 22According toG2596 theG3588 lawG3551, in factG2532, nearlyG4975 everythingG3956 must be purifiedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129, andG2532 withoutG5565 the shedding of bloodG130 there isG1096 noG3756 forgivenessG859.

23SoG3767 it was necessaryG318 for theG3588 copiesG5262 of the heavenlyG1722G3588G3772 thingsG3588 to be purifiedG2511 with theseG3778 sacrifices, butG1161 theG3588 heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24ForG1063 ChristG5547 did not enterG1525G3756G1519 a man-madeG5499 copyG499 of theG3588 trueG228 sanctuaryG40, butG235 He entered heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 on our behalfG5228G1473 in theG3588 presenceG4383 of GodG2316.
