18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;(A) 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,[a] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.(B) 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God.(C) 21 For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(D)

Christ Our Advocate

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,(A) and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.(B)

This is a symbol[a] of the present time, indicating that gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper(A) 10 but deal only with food and drink and various baptisms, regulations for the body imposed until the time comes to set things right.(B)

11 But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come,[b] then through the greater and more perfect tent[c] (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation),(C) 12 he entered once for all into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.(D) 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified,(E) 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit[d] offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[e] conscience from dead works to worship the living God!(F)

This is an illustration(A) for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered(B) were not able to clear the conscience(C) of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food(D) and drink(E) and various ceremonial washings(F)—external regulations(G) applying until the time of the new order.

The Blood of Christ

11 But when Christ came as high priest(H) of the good things that are now already here,[a](I) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(J) that is not made with human hands,(K) 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;(L) but he entered the Most Holy Place(M) once for all(N) by his own blood,(O) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(P) and the ashes of a heifer(Q) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(R) offered himself(S) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(T) from acts that lead to death,[c](U) so that we may serve the living God!(V)
