AccordinglyG2596 4bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 are offeredG4374 which 5cannotG1410 G3361 makeG5048 the worshiperG3000 perfectG5048 in conscienceG4893, 10since they relate onlyG3440 to 6foodG1033 and 7drinkG4188 and variousG1313 8washingsG909, 9regulationsG1345 for the 10bodyG4561 imposedG1945 untilG3360 11a timeG2540 of reformationG1357.

11But when ChristG5547 appearedG3854 as a 12highG749 priestG749 of the 13goodG18 thingsG18 14to comeG1096, He entered throughG1223 15the greaterG3173 and moreG5046 perfectG5046 16tabernacleG4633, 17not madeG5499 with handsG5499, that is to say, 18not of thisG3778 creationG2937; 12and not throughG1223 19the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and calvesG3448, but 20throughG1223 His ownG2398 bloodG129, He 21enteredG1525 the holyG40 placeG40 22onceG2178 for allG2178, 23having obtainedG2147 24eternalG166 redemptionG3085. 13For ifG1487 25the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 and bullsG5022 and 26the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 thoseG3588 who have been defiledG2840 sanctifyG37 for the 27cleansingG2514 of the fleshG4561, 14howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will 28the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 29 30the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 31offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 withoutG299 blemishG299 to GodG2316, 32cleanseG2511 33your conscienceG4893 from 34deadG3498 worksG2041 to serveG3000 35the livingG2198 GodG2316?
