²³ `It is' necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

⁵ who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --

²⁴ for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter -- figures of the true -- but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us;

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's --

²⁰ foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --

¹³ as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies `as' his footstool,

¹⁴ for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

¹⁵ and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

¹⁶ `This `is' the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

¹⁷ and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the coming good things -- not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

⁹ which `is' a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving,

¹⁰ only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon `them'.

¹¹ And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

¹² neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body `is' of the Christ;

³ and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

⁴⁶ and he said to them -- `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

²⁶ Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?'
