Hebrews 9:7-12
English Standard Version
7 but into the second only (A)the high priest goes, and he but (B)once a year, and not without taking blood, (C)which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that (D)the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing 9 (which is symbolic for the present age).[a] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered (E)that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with (F)food and drink and (G)various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
Redemption Through the Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest (H)of the good things that have come,[b] then through (I)the greater and more perfect tent ((J)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he (K)entered (L)once for all into the holy places, not by means of (M)the blood of goats and calves but (N)by means of his own blood, (O)thus securing an eternal redemption.

7 But only the high priest entered(A) the inner room,(B) and that only once a year,(C) and never without blood,(D) which he offered for himself(E) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.(F) 8 The Holy Spirit was showing(G) by this that the way(H) into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. 9 This is an illustration(I) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(J) were not able to clear the conscience(K) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(L) and drink(M) and various ceremonial washings(N)—external regulations(O) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(P) of the good things that are now already here,[a](Q) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(R) that is not made with human hands,(S) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(T) but he entered the Most Holy Place(U) once for all(V) by his own blood,(W) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:7-12
King James Version
7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
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.
