Hebrews:9:11-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Christ being come-a High Priest of the good things to come-has ,
through a greater and more perfect tabernacle ,
not made with hands , (
that is to say ,
not of this building ,)
*
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 .
*
Hence ,
neither was the first introduced without blood ;
* «
for » '
when Moses had spoken every precept in the law to all the people ,
taking the blood of calves ,
and of goats ,
with water and scarlet wool ,
and hyssop ,
he sprinkled both the book itself ,
and the people :'
* «
saying ,» '
This is the blood of the institution ,
which God has enjoined on you .'
*
Moreover ,
he in like manner sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle ,
and all the vessels of the ministry .
*
And almost all thing ,
according to the law ,
were cleansed with blood ;
and without the shedding of blood ,
there is no remission .
*
It was necessary ,
then ,
indeed ,
that the representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these ;
but the heavenly things themselves ,
with better sacrifices than these .
*
Therefore ,
Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands ,
the antitypes of the true ,
but into heaven itself ,
now to appear in the presence of God ,
on our account .
*
Not ,
however ,
that he should offer himself often ,
as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with other blood ;
*
for then he must have often sufferance since the foundation of the world :
but now ,
once ,
at the conclusion of the ages ,
he has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself .
*
And ,
forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die ,
and after that ,
the judgment ;
*
even so Christ ,
being once offered ,
to bear away the sins of many ,
will ,
to them who look for him ,
appear a second time ,
without a sin-offering ,
in order to salvation .
