Hebrews 9:3-14

3but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,

4having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which [were] the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;

5and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now [the time] to speak in detail.

6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;

7but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

8the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the [holy of] holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has [its] standing;

9the which [is] an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered,

10[consisting] only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until [the] time of setting things right.

11But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

12nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption.

13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

14how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to 1God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living 2God?
