   10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal   
   ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.   
      
   11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a   
   greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to   
   say, not of this building;   
      
   12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he   
   entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption   
   for us.   
      
   13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer   
   sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:   
      
   14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal   
   Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from   
   dead works to serve the living God?   
      
   15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by   
   means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under   
   the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of   
   eternal inheritance.   
      
   16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death   
   of the testator.   
      
   17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no   
   strength at all while the testator liveth.   
      
   18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.   
      
   19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according   
   to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and   
   scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,   
      
   20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined   
   unto you.   
      
   21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the   
   vessels of the ministry.   
      
   22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without   
   shedding of blood is no remission.   
      
   23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens   
   should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with   
   better sacrifices than these.   
      
   24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which   
   are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in   
   the presence of God for us:   
      
   25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest   
   entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;   
      
   26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the   
   world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away   
   sin by the sacrifice of himself.   
      
   27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:   
      
   28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them   
   that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto   
   salvation.   
      
   Hebrews Chapter 10   
      
   1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very   
   image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered   
   year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.   
      
   2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the   
   worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.   
      
   3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins   
   every year.   
      
   4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should   
   take away sins.   
      
   5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and   
   offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:   
      
   6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had 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 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and   
   offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein;   
   which are offered by the law;   
      
   9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the   
   first, that he may establish the second.   
      
   10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body   
   of Jesus Christ once for all.   
      
   11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes   
   the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:   
      
   12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,   
   sat down on the right hand of God;   
      
   13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.   
      
   14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.   
      
   15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had   
   said before,   
      
   16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,   
   saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds   
   will I write them;   
      
   17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.   
      
   18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.   
      
   19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the   
   blood of Jesus,   
      
   20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through   
   the veil, that is to say, his flesh;   
      
   21 And having an high priest over the house of God;   
      
   22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having   
   our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with   
   pure water.   
      
   23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for   
   he is faithful that promised;)   
      
   24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:   
      
   25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of   
   some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the   
   day approaching.   
      
   26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of   
   the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,   
      
   27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,   
   which shall devour the adversaries.   
      
   28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three   
   witnesses:   
      
   29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy,   
   who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood   
   of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath   
   done despite unto the Spirit of grace?   
      
   30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will   
   recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.   
      
   31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.   
      
   32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were   
   illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;   
      
   33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and   
   afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were   
   so used.   
      
   34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the   
   spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a   
   better and an enduring substance.   
      
   35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence   
   of reward.   
      
   36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of   
   God, ye might receive the promise.   
      
   37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will   
   not tarry.   
      
   38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul   
   shall have no pleasure in him.   
      
   39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that   
   believe to the saving of the soul.
