Genesis 3:17-20
English Standard Version
17 And to Adam he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
(A)of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
(B)cursed is the ground because of you;
(C)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
(D)for you are dust,
and (E)to dust you shall return.”
20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.[a]

Hebrews 9:22-24
English Standard Version
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and (A)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
23 Thus it was necessary for (B)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (C)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (D)on our behalf.
