Hebrews 9:18-28

18So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.

19For when Moses had spoken every command to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”

21And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

22Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23So it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these.

24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation of the true sanctuary – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

25And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

26for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.

27And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment,

28so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.
