Hebrews 9:13-28

13For ifG1487 1the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022 and 2the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840 sanctifyG37 for the 3cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 4the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 5 6the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 7offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 8cleanseG2511 9your conscienceG4893 from 10deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 11the livingG2198 GodG2316?

15For thisG3778 reasonG1223 12He is the 13mediatorG3316 of a 14newG2537 covenantG1242, soG3704 that, since a deathG2288 has takenG1096 placeG1096 for the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were committed underG1909 the firstG4413 covenantG1242, thoseG3588 who have been 15calledG2564 may 16receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of 17the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 a 18covenantG1242 is, there must of necessityG318 19be the deathG2288 of the one who madeG1303 it. 17For a 20covenantG1242 is validG949 only when 21men are deadG3498, 22for it is neverG3379 in forceG2480 whileG3753 the one who madeG1303 it livesG2198. 18ThereforeG3606 evenG3761 the firstG4413 covenant was not inauguratedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. 19For when everyG3956 commandmentG1785 had been 23spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, 24he tookG2983 the 25bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with 26waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 27the bookG975 itselfG846 and allG3956 the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “28ThisG3778 is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 commandedG1781 you.” 21And in the sameG3668 wayG3668 he 29sprinkledG4472 bothG2532 the 30tabernacleG4633 and allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the 31LawG3551, one may 32almostG4975 say, allG3956 thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and 33withoutG5565 sheddingG130 of bloodG130 there is noG3756 forgivenessG859.

23ThereforeG3767 it was necessaryG318 for the 34copiesG5262 of the things in the heavensG3772 to be cleansedG2511 with theseG3778, but 35the heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24For ChristG5547 36did not enterG1525 a holyG40 placeG40 madeG5499 with handsG5499, a mere copyG499 of 37the trueG228 oneG228, but into 38heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 39to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 for us; 25norG3761 was it that He would offerG4374 HimselfG1438 oftenG4178, as 40the highG749 priestG749 entersG1525 41the holyG40 placeG40 42yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 that is not his ownG245. 26OtherwiseG1893, He would have neededG1163 to sufferG3958 oftenG4178 sinceG575 43the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889; but nowG3570 44onceG530 at 45the consummationG4930 of the agesG165 He has been 46manifestedG5319 to putG115 awayG115 sinG266 47 48by the sacrificeG2378 of HimselfG846. 27And inasmuchG2596 G3745 as 49it is 50appointedG606 for menG444 to dieG599 onceG530 and afterG3326 thisG3778 51comes judgmentG2920, 28soG3779 ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been 52offeredG4374 onceG530 to 53bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183, will appearG3708 54a secondG1208 timeG1208 for 55salvationG4991 56withoutG5565 reference to sinG266, to thoseG3588 who 57eagerlyG553 awaitG553 Him.
