Hebrews 9:7-15

7ButG1161 onlyG3441 theG3588 high priestG749 entered theG3588 secondG1208 room, and then only onceG530 a yearG1763, and neverG3756 withoutG5565 bloodG129, whichG3739 he offeredG4374 forG5228 himselfG1438 andG2532 for theG3588 sins the people had committed in ignoranceG3588G2992G51.

8By thisG3778 arrangement theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 was showingG1213 that theG3588 wayG3598 into theG3588 Most Holy PlaceG401 had not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 as long as theG3588 firstG4413 tabernacleG4633 wasG2192 stillG2089 standingG4714. 9It is an illustrationG3850 forG1519 theG3588 presentG1764 timeG2540, becauseG2596 the giftsG1435 andG2532 sacrificesG2378 being offeredG4374 were unableG3361G1410 to cleanseG5048G2596 the conscienceG4893 of theG3588 worshiperG3000. 10They consist onlyG3440 inG1909 foodG1033 andG2532 drinkG4188 andG2532 specialG1313 washingsG909—externalG4561 regulationsG1345 imposedG1945 untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformG1357.

11ButG1161 when ChristG5547 came asG3854 high priestG749 of theG3588 good thingsG18 that have comeG1096,2 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 ourG14733 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.
