with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no
remission.
(23)It was therefore necessary, that the outlines of things in the
heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things
themselves, with better sacrifices than these. (24)For Christ entered
not into holy places made with hands, figures of the true; but into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; (25)nor
yet that he should many times offer himself, as the high priest enters
into the holy places every year with blood of others; (26)for then
must he many times have suffered since the foundation of the world;
but now once, in the end of the ages, he has been manifested for the
putting away of sin by the sacrifice of himself[9:26]. (27)And
inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the
judgment; (28)so also the Christ, having been once offered to bear the
sins of many, will to those who look for him appear a second time
without sin, unto salvation.

FOR the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very
image of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices which they
offer year by year continually, make those who come to them[10:1]
perfect. (2)For then would they not have ceased to be offered, because
the worshipers would have had no more consciousness of sins, having
once been cleansed? (3)But in them there is a remembrance of sins year
by year. (4)For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins. (5)Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he
says:
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
But a body didst thou prepare for me;
(6)In whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin,
thou hadst no pleasure.
(7)Then said I: Lo, I come,
In the volume of the book it is written of me,
To do thy will, O God.
(8)Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt-offerings
and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, nor hadst pleasure therein,
which are offered by the law, (9)then has he said: Lo, I come to do
thy will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the
second. (10)In which will we have been sanctified, through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(11)And every priest[10:11] indeed stands daily ministering, and
offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins; (12)but he, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat
down on the right hand of God
