Hebrews 9:6–15

⁶Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services; ⁷but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

⁸the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing; ⁹the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered, ¹⁰consisting only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until the time of setting things right. ¹¹But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,) ¹²nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption. ¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer’s ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh, ¹⁴how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?

¹⁵And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
