22 And (A)almost all things are cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and (B)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23 Therefore it was necessary for the (C)copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these things, but (D)the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ (E)did not enter a holy place made by hands, a mere copy of (F)the true one, but into (G)heaven itself, now (H)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as (I)the high priest enters (J)the Holy Place (K)year by year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since (L)the foundation of the world; but now (M)once at (N)the consummation of the ages He has been (O)revealed to put away sin [a](P)by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And just as (Q)it is destined for people to die once, and after this (R)comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been (S)offered once to (T)bear the sins of many, will appear (U)a second time for (V)salvation (W)without reference to sin, to those who (X)eagerly await Him.
