Hebrews:9:11-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Christ being come ,
an high-priest of good things to come ,
through a greater and more perfect tabernacle ,
*
not made with hands ,
that is ,
not of this building ,
And not by the blood of goats and calves ,
but by his own blood ,
entered in once for all into the holy place ,
having obtained eternal redemption for us .
*
For if the blood of bulls and goats ,
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean ,
sanctifieth 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 ,
purge our conscience from dead works ,
to serve the living God ?
*
And for this end he is the Mediator of a new covenant ,
that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant ,
they who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance .
*
For where a testament is ,
there must also necessarily be the death of the testator .
*
For a testament is of force after men are dead ;
otherwise it is of no strength while the testator liveth .
*
Whence neither was the first testament consecrated without blood .
*
For when Moses had spoken all the commandment according to the law to all the people ,
he took the blood of calves and of goats ,
with water ,
and scarlet wooll ,
and hyssop ,
and the book itself ,
*
and sprinkled all the people ,
Saying ,
This is the blood of the testament ,
which God hath enjoined unto you .
*
And in like manner he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service .
*
And almost all things are according to the law purified with blood ,
and withoutshedding of blood there is no remission .
*
It was therefore necessary ,
that the patterns of things in heaven should be purified by these ,
but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these .
*
For Christ did not enter into the holy place made with hands ,
the figures of the true ;
but into heaven itself ,
now to appear in the presence of God for us .
*
Nor did he enter ,
that he might offer himself often (
as the high-priest entered into the holy place every year with the blood of others .)
*
For then he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world :
but now once at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested ,
to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself .
*
And as it is appointed for men once to die ,
and after this the judgment :
*
So Christ also ,
having been once offered to bear the sins of many ,
will appear the second time ,
without sin ,
to them that look for him ,
unto salvation .
