Heb 9:23  It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 

Heb 9:24  For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. 

Heb 9:25  Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 

Heb 9:26  Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 

Heb 9:27  Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 

Heb 9:28  so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. 

Heb 10:1  The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 

Heb 10:2  Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 

Heb 10:3  But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. 

Heb 10:4  It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 

Heb 10:11  Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 

Heb 10:12  But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 

Heb 10:13  and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 

Heb 10:14  For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. 

Heb 10:19  Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 

Heb 10:20  by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 

Heb 10:21  and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 

Heb 10:22  let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 

Heb 10:23  Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 

Heb 10:24  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 

Heb 10:25  not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
