Hebrews:9:12-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
entered once into the holy places ,
having obtained eternal redemption ;
not indeed ,
by the blood of goats and calves ,
but by his own blood .
*
For if the blood of bulls and goats ,
and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the polluted ,
sanctified to the cleansing of the flesh ,
*
how much more shall the blood of Christ ,
who ,
through an Eternal Spirit ,
offered himself without fault ,
to God ,
cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God ?
*
And ,
for this reason ,
he is mediator of the new institution ,
that ,
by means of death ,
for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution ,
those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance .
*
Now ,
where there is such an institution ,
the death of the instituted sacrifice must necessarily intervene :
*
for since the institution is ratified over the dead ,
it has no force while the instituted sacrifice lives .
