*
But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year ,
not without blood ,
which he offered for himself and for the people '
s sins committed in ignorance ;
*
the Holy Spirit indicating this ,
that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing .
*
It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience --
*
concerned only with foods and drinks ,
various washings ,
and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation .
*
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come ,
with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands ,
that is ,
not of this creation .
*
Not with the blood of goats and calves ,
but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all ,
having obtained eternal redemption .
*
For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer ,
sprinkling the unclean ,
sanctifies for 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 ?
