Hebrews 9:16-28
16For whereG3699 a 1covenantG1242 is, there must of necessityG318 2be the deathG2288 of the one who madeG1303 it. 17For a 3covenantG1242 is validG949 only when 4men are deadG3498, 5for 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 6spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, 7he tookG2983 the 8bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with 9waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 10the bookG975 itselfG846 and allG3956 the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “11ThisG3778 is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 commandedG1781 you.” 21And in the sameG3668 wayG3668 he 12sprinkledG4472 bothG2532 the 13tabernacleG4633 and allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the 14LawG3551, one may 15almostG4975 say, allG3956 thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and 16withoutG5565 sheddingG130 of bloodG130 there is noG3756 forgivenessG859.
23ThereforeG3767 it was necessaryG318 for the 17copiesG5262 of the things in the heavensG3772 to be cleansedG2511 with theseG3778, but 18the heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24For ChristG5547 19did not enterG1525 a holyG40 placeG40 madeG5499 with handsG5499, a mere copyG499 of 20the trueG228 oneG228, but into 21heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 22to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 for us; 25norG3761 was it that He would offerG4374 HimselfG1438 oftenG4178, as 23the highG749 priestG749 entersG1525 24the holyG40 placeG40 25yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 that is not his ownG245. 26OtherwiseG1893, He would have neededG1163 to sufferG3958 oftenG4178 sinceG575 26the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889; but nowG3570 27onceG530 at 28the consummationG4930 of the agesG165 He has been 29manifestedG5319 to putG115 awayG115 sinG266 3031by the sacrificeG2378 of HimselfG846. 27And inasmuchG2596G3745 as 32it is 33appointedG606 for menG444 to dieG599 onceG530 and afterG3326 thisG3778 34comes judgmentG2920, 28soG3779 ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been 35offeredG4374 onceG530 to 36bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183, will appearG3708 37a secondG1208 timeG1208 for 38salvationG4991 39withoutG5565 reference to sinG266, to thoseG3588 who 40eagerlyG553 awaitG553 Him.
