²³ It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

⁵ who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

²⁴ For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

⁹ They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;

²⁰ who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,

²¹ who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

¹⁰ by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ Every priest indeed stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

¹² but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³ from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

¹⁵ The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁶ "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then he says,

¹⁷ "I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."

⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

¹ For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

⁹ which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

¹⁰ being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹¹ But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

¹² nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.

³ If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

⁴⁶ He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

²⁶ Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"
