New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 but deal only with food and drink and various baptisms, regulations for the body imposed until the time comes to set things right.(A)
11 But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come,[a] then through the greater and more perfect tent[b] (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation),(B) 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.(C) 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,(D) 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit[c] offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[d] conscience from dead works to worship the living God!(E)

The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(E) of the good things that are now already here,[a](F) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(G) that is not made with human hands,(H) 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;(I) but he entered the Most Holy Place(J) once for all(K) by his own blood,(L) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(M) and the ashes of a heifer(N) 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(O) offered himself(P) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(Q) from acts that lead to death,[c](R) so that we may serve the living God!(S)
