Hebrews 9:7-15

7but into 1the second, only 2the high priest enters 3once a year, 4not without taking blood which he 5offers for himself and for the 67sins of the people committed in ignorance. 88The Holy Spirit is signifying this, 9that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the 10outer tabernacle is still standing, 9which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly 11both gifts and sacrifices are offered which 12cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10since they relate only to 13food, 14drink, and various 15washings, 16regulations for the 17body imposed until 18a time of reformation.

11But when Christ appeared as a 19high priest of the 20good things 21having come, He entered through 22the greater and more perfect 23tabernacle, 24not made by hands, that is, 25not of this creation; 12and not through 26the blood of goats and calves, but 27through His own blood, He 28entered the holy place 29once for all time, 30having obtained 31eternal redemption. 13For if 32the blood of goats and bulls, and 33the 34ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the 35cleansing of the flesh, 14how much more will 36the blood of Christ, who through 3738the eternal Spirit 39offered Himself without blemish to God, 40cleanse your conscience from 41dead works to serve 42the living God?

15For this reason 43He is the 44mediator of a 45new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been 46called may 47receive the promise of 48the eternal inheritance.
