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.
