But God (A)demonstrates (B)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (C)Christ died for us.

but into (A)the second, only (B)the high priest enters (C)once a year, (D)not without taking blood which he (E)offers for himself and for the [a](F)sins of the people committed in ignorance. (G)The Holy Spirit is signifying this, (H)that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the [b]outer tabernacle is still standing, which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly (I)both gifts and sacrifices are offered which (J)cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to (K)food, (L)drink, and various (M)washings, (N)regulations for the [c]body imposed until (O)a time of reformation.

11 But when Christ appeared as a (P)high priest of the (Q)good things [d]having come, He entered through (R)the greater and more perfect [e]tabernacle, (S)not made by hands, that is, (T)not of this creation; 12 and not through (U)the blood of goats and calves, but (V)through His own blood, He (W)entered the holy place (X)once for all time, [f]having obtained (Y)eternal redemption. 13 For if (Z)the blood of goats and bulls, and (AA)the [g]ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the [h]cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will (AB)the blood of Christ, who through [i](AC)the eternal Spirit (AD)offered Himself without blemish to God, (AE)cleanse your conscience from (AF)dead works to serve (AG)the living God?

  1. Hebrews 10:10 Lit which

14 For by one offering He has (A)perfected (B)for all time those who are [a]sanctified. 15 And (C)the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

16 (D)This is the covenant which I will make with them
After those days, declares the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their hearts,
And write them on their mind,”

He then says,

17 (E)And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will no longer remember.”

18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.
