Hebrews 9:18-28

18That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.

19For when every command had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll itself and all the people,

20saying, This is the blood of the covenant that God has ordained for you.

21In the same way, he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the articles of worship with blood.

22According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.

24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God for us.

25He did not do this to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.

26Otherwise, he would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27And just as it is appointed for people to die once — and after this, judgment  —

28so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
