Hebrews 9
10 Ref Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.
11 Ref But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,
12 Ref And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.
13 Ref For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:
14 Ref How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?
15 Ref And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.
16 Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.
17 Ref For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?
18 Ref So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.
19 Ref For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,
20 Ref Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you.
21 Ref And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.
22 Ref And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Ref For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.
