Then it was needful for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.

For Christ did not enter into the Holy of Holies made by hands, types of the true things, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,

since He must often have suffered from the foundation of the world. But now once for all, at the completion of the ages, He has been manifested for putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself.

so Christ having been once offered "to bear the sins of many," Christ shall appear a second time without sin to those expecting Him for salvation. Isa. 53:12

For the Law had a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of those things. Appearing year by year with the same sacrifices, which they offer continually, they never are able to perfect the ones drawingnear.

for it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

For this reason, coming into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me.

by which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

But He, offering but one sacrifice for sins, "sat down" in perpetuity "at the right hand " of God,

For by one offering He has perfected in perpetuity the ones being sanctified.

And the Holy Spirit witnesses to us also. For after having said before,

Therefore, brothers, having confidence for the entering of the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus,

which He consecrated for us, a new and living way through the veil; that is, His flesh;

let us hold fast the confession of the hope unyielding, for He who has promised is faithful.

For if we are willfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice concerning sins,

For we know Him who has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The Lord will judge His people." Deut. 32:35, 36

For also you suffered together in my bonds; and you accepted the seizure of your possessions with joy, knowing yourselves to have a better and abiding possession in Heaven.

For you have need of patience, that having done the will of God you may obtain the promise.

For, yet a very little while, and the One coming will come, "and will not delay." Hab.2:3

For by this the elders obtained witness.
