Hebrews 8:6

6But as it is, Christ ▼

▼Greek he

has obtained a ministry that is ^bas much more excellent than the old as ^cthe covenant ^dhe mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

Hebrews 8:12-13

12For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
^eand I will remember their sins no more.”
13In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And ^fwhat is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 9:9-14

9(which is symbolic for the present age). ▼

According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered ^hthat cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10but deal only with ⁱfood and drink and ^jvarious washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11But when Christ appeared as a high priest ^kof the good things that have come, ▼

▼Some manuscripts  good things to come

then through ^mthe greater and more perfect tent ( ⁿnot made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he ^oentered ^ponce for all into the holy places, not by means of ^qthe blood of goats and calves but ^rby means of his own blood, ^sthus securing an eternal redemption. 13For if ^tthe blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with ^uthe ashes of a heifer, sanctify ▼

▼Or  For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies

for the purification of the flesh, 14how much more will ^wthe blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^xoffered himself without blemish to God, ^ypurify our ▼

▼Some manuscripts your

conscience ^aafrom dead works ^abto serve the living God.

Hebrews 9:22

22Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and ^acwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Hebrews 10:4-18

4For ^adit is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5Consequently, ^aewhen Christ ▼

▼Greek he

came into the world, he said,

^ag“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in ^ahsacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9then he added, ^ai“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10And by that will ^ajwe have been sanctified through the offering of ^akthe body of Jesus Christ ^alonce for all.

11And every priest stands ^amdaily at his service, ^anoffering repeatedly the same sacrifices, ^aowhich can never take away sins. 12But when Christ ▼

▼Greek this one

had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he ^aqsat down at the right hand of God, 13waiting from that time ^aruntil his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14For by a single offering ^ashe has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

15And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

16 ^at“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
17then he adds,

^au“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

1 John 2:1-2

Christ Our Advocate

1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ^avwe have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 ^awHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^axalso for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:12

12 I am writing to you, little children,
because ^ayyour sins are forgiven for his name’s sake.
