Hebrews 10:11-22

11Every day each priest performed his religious duty. He offered the same type of sacrifice again and again. Yet, these sacrifices could never take away sins.

12However, this chief priest made one sacrifice for sins, and this sacrifice lasts forever. Now he holds the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne.

13Since that time, he has been waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool.

14With one sacrifice he accomplished the work of setting them apart for God forever.

15The Holy Spirit tells us the same thing:

16“This is the promise  that I will make to them after those days, says the Lord: ‘I will put my teachings in their hearts and write them in their minds.’ ”

17Then he adds, “I will no longer hold their sins and their disobedience against them.”

18When sins are forgiven, there is no longer any need to sacrifice for sins.

19Brothers and sisters, because of the blood of Jesus we can now confidently go into the holy place.

20Jesus has opened a new and living way for us to go through the curtain. (The curtain is his own body.)

21We have a superior priest in charge of God’s house.

22We have been sprinkled ⌞with his blood⌟ to free us from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with clean water. So we must continue to come ⌞to him⌟ with a sincere heart and strong faith.
