  1. Hebrews 9:11 Some ancient authorities read the good things that are come.

24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (A)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (B)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (C)the high priest enters (D)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (E)he has appeared (F)once for all (G)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as (H)it is appointed for man to die once, and (I)after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once (J)to bear the sins of (K)many, will appear (L)a second time, (M)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly (N)waiting for him.

24 For (A)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [a]copies of (B)the true, but into heaven itself, now (C)to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as (D)the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 (E)And as it is appointed for men to die once, (F)but after this the judgment, 28 so (G)Christ was (H)offered once to bear the sins (I)of many. To those who (J)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

  1. Hebrews 9:24 representations

24 [L For] Christ did not go into ·the Most Holy Place [a sanctuary; L holy things] made by ·humans [L hands], which is only a ·copy [model; or prefiguration] of the real one. He went into heaven itself and ·is there [appears] now ·before [in the presence of] God ·to help us [for us; on our behalf]. 25 The high priest enters the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things; T Holy of Holies] once every year with blood that is not his own. But Christ did not offer himself many times. 26 ·Then [Otherwise; In such a case,] he would have had to suffer many times ·since the world was made [from the foundation/creation of the world]. But Christ ·came [appeared] ·only once and for all time [once for all; 7:27; 9:12, 26; 10:10] at the ·end [culmination; climax] of ·the present age [time; L the ages] to ·take away all [nullify; abolish] sin by sacrificing himself. 27 Just as ·everyone [L people] ·must [is/are destined/appointed to] die once and ·then be judged [T after this the judgment], 28 so Christ was offered as a sacrifice one time to ·take away [bear] the sins of many people [Is. 53:12]. And he will ·come [appear] a second time, not to offer himself for sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

24 For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us: 25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own; 26 else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the [a]end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin [b]by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is [c]appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment; 28 so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.
