26 For it was fitting for us to have such a (A)high priest, (B)holy, (C)innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and (D)exalted above the heavens; 27 who has no daily need, like those high priests, to (E)offer up sacrifices, (F)first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this (G)once for all time when He (H)offered up Himself. 28 For the Law appoints men as high priests (I)who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints (J)a Son, who has been (K)made perfect forever.

11 But when Christ appeared as a (A)high priest of the (B)good things [a]having come, He entered through (C)the greater and more perfect [b]tabernacle, (D)not made by hands, that is, (E)not of this creation; 12 and not through (F)the blood of goats and calves, but (G)through His own blood, He (H)entered the holy place (I)once for all time, [c]having obtained (J)eternal redemption. 13 For if (K)the blood of goats and bulls, and (L)the [d]ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the [e]cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will (M)the blood of Christ, who through [f](N)the eternal Spirit (O)offered Himself without blemish to God, (P)cleanse your conscience from (Q)dead works to serve (R)the living God?

15 For this reason (S)He is the (T)mediator of a (U)new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been (V)called may (W)receive the promise of (X)the eternal inheritance.
