* But Christ became an high priest of good things to come , by a greater and more perfect tabernacle , not made with hands , that is to say , not of this building ; * Neither by the blood of goats and calves , but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place , having obtained eternal redemption . * For if the blood of bulls and of goats , and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean , sanctify to the purifying of the flesh : * How much more shall the blood of Christ , who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God , cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God ? (note :)spot : or , fault (:note ) * And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament , that by means of death , for the redemption of the transgressions under the first testament , they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance . * For where a testament , there must also of necessity be the death of the testator . (note :)be : or , be brought in (:note ) * For a testament of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth . * Hence even the first was not dedicated without blood . (note :)dedicated : or , purified (:note ) * For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law , he took the blood of calves and of goats , with water , and scarlet wool , and hyssop , and sprinkled both the book , and all the people , (note :)scarlet : or , purple (:note ) * Saying , This the blood of the testament which God hath commanded you . * Moreover he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle , and all the vessels of the ministry . * And almost all things are by the law cleansed with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no remission . * therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these ; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these . * For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands , the figures of the true ; but into heaven itself , now to appear in the presence of God for us : * Nor yet that he should offer himself often , as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others ; * For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world : but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself . * And as it is appointed to men once to die , but after this the judgment : * So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many ; and to them that look for him he shall appear the second time without sin to salvation .
