Hebrews 9:16-28

16(For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in. 17For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.) 18Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood. 19For every commandment having been spoken according to [the] law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which 1God has enjoined to you. 21And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood; 22and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission. 23[It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these. 24For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of 2God for us: 25nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own; 26since he had [then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice. 27And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment; 28thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
