Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest (A)of the good things that have come,[a] then through (B)the greater and more perfect tent ((C)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he (D)entered (E)once for all into the holy places, not by means of (F)the blood of goats and calves but (G)by means of his own blood, (H)thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if (I)the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with (J)the ashes of a heifer, sanctify[b] for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will (K)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit (L)offered himself without blemish to God, (M)purify our[c] conscience (N)from dead works (O)to serve the living God.

24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (A)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (B)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (C)the high priest enters (D)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (E)he has appeared (F)once for all (G)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as (H)it is appointed for man to die once, and (I)after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once (J)to bear the sins of (K)many, will appear (L)a second time, (M)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly (N)waiting for him.

11 And every priest stands (A)daily at his service, (B)offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, (C)which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[a] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he (D)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time (E)until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering (F)he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

16 (G)“This is the covenant that I will make with them
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
    and write them on their minds,”

17 then he adds,

(H)“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 (I)Therefore, brothers,[b] since we have confidence to enter (J)the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by (K)the new and living way that he opened for us through (L)the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
