²¹ For ^(A)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(B)the righteousness of God in Him.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with ^[a]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, ¹⁹ but ^(A)with the precious blood of Christ, ^(B)as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Christ’s Suffering and Ours

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring ^[a]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will^(A)

⁵ Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

⁸ Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), ⁹ then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, ^[a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. ^10 (C)By that will we have been ^[b]sanctified ^(D)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

¹¹ And every priest stands ^(E)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. ^12 (F)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down ^(G)at the right hand of God, ¹³ from that time waiting ^(H)till His enemies are made His footstool. ¹⁴ For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being ^[c]sanctified.
