Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest ^uof the good things that have come, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts good things to come} then through ^wthe greater and more perfect tent ( ^xnot made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he ^yentered ^zonce for all into the holy places, not by means of ^aathe blood of goats and calves but ^abby means of his own blood, ^acthus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if ^adthe blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with ^aethe 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, 14 how much more will ^agthe blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^ahoffered himself without blemish to God, ^aipurify our ^{▼▼Some manuscripts your} conscience ^akfrom dead works ^alto serve the living God.

Hebrews 9:22-28

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

23 Thus it was necessary for ^anthe copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places ^aomade with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God ^apon our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as ^aqthe high priest enters ^arthe holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, ^ashe has appeared ^atonce for all ^auat the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as ^avit is appointed for man to die once, and ^awafter that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once ^axto bear the sins of ^aymany, will appear ^aza second time, ^banot to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly ^bbwaiting for him.
