Hebrews 9:6-28

6NowG1161 when theseG3778 thingsG3778 have been soG3779 preparedG2680, the priestsG2409 1are continuallyG1223G3956 enteringG1524 the 2outerG4413 3tabernacleG4633 performingG2005 the divineG2999 worshipG2999, 7but into 4the secondG1208, onlyG3441 5the highG749 priestG749 enters 6onceG530 a yearG1763, 7not withoutG5565 taking bloodG129, whichG3739 he 8offersG4374 for himselfG1438 and for the 910sinsG51 of the peopleG2992 committed in ignoranceG51. 811The HolyG40 SpiritG4151 is signifyingG1213 thisG3778, 12that the wayG3598 into the holyG40 placeG40 has not yetG3380 been disclosedG5319 while the 13outerG4413 tabernacleG4633 is stillG2089 standingG4714, 9whichG3748 is a symbolG3850 for the presentG1764 timeG2540. AccordinglyG2596 14bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 15cannotG1410G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 16foodG1033 and 17drinkG4188 and variousG1313 18washingsG909, 19regulationsG1345 for the 20bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 21a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 22highG749 priestG749 of the 23goodG18 thingsG18 24to comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 25the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 26tabernacleG4633, 27not madeG5499 with handsG5499, that is to say, 28not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 29the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 30throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 31enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 32onceG2178 for allG2178, 33having obtainedG2147 34eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 35the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022 and 36the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840 sanctifyG37 for the 37cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 38the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 3940the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 41offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 42cleanseG2511 43your conscienceG4893 from 44deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 45the livingG2198 GodG2316?

15For thisG3778 reasonG1223 46He is the 47mediatorG3316 of a 48newG2537 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 49calledG2564 may 50receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of 51the eternalG166 inheritanceG2817. 16For whereG3699 a 52covenantG1242 is, there must of necessityG318 53be the deathG2288 of the one who madeG1303 it. 17For a 54covenantG1242 is validG949 only when 55men are deadG3498, 56for 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 57spokenG2980 by MosesG3475 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551, 58he tookG2983 the 59bloodG129 of the calvesG3448 and the goatsG5131, with 60waterG5204 and scarletG2847 woolG2053 and hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 61the bookG975 itselfG846 and allG3956 the peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “62ThisG3778 is the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 commandedG1781 you.” 21And in the sameG3668 wayG3668 he 63sprinkledG4472 bothG2532 the 64tabernacleG4633 and allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009 with the bloodG129. 22And accordingG2596 to the 65LawG3551, one may 66almostG4975 say, allG3956 thingsG3956 are cleansedG2511 with bloodG129, and 67withoutG5565 sheddingG130 of bloodG130 there is noG3756 forgivenessG859.

23ThereforeG3767 it was necessaryG318 for the 68copiesG5262 of the things in the heavensG3772 to be cleansedG2511 with theseG3778, but 69the heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG3778. 24For ChristG5547 70did not enterG1525 a holyG40 placeG40 madeG5499 with handsG5499, a mere copyG499 of 71the trueG228 oneG228, but into 72heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 73to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 for us; 25norG3761 was it that He would offerG4374 HimselfG1438 oftenG4178, as 74the highG749 priestG749 entersG1525 75the holyG40 placeG40 76yearG1763 by yearG1763 with bloodG129 that is not his ownG245. 26OtherwiseG1893, He would have neededG1163 to sufferG3958 oftenG4178 sinceG575 77the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889; but nowG3570 78onceG530 at 79the consummationG4930 of the agesG165 He has been 80manifestedG5319 to putG115 awayG115 sinG266 8182by the sacrificeG2378 of HimselfG846. 27And inasmuchG2596G3745 as 83it is 84appointedG606 for menG444 to dieG599 onceG530 and afterG3326 thisG3778 85comes judgmentG2920, 28soG3779 ChristG5547 alsoG2532, having been 86offeredG4374 onceG530 to 87bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183, will appearG3708 88a secondG1208 timeG1208 for 89salvationG4991 90withoutG5565 reference to sinG266, to thoseG3588 who 91eagerlyG553 awaitG553 Him.
