⁸ After saying above, “^(A)Sacrifices and offerings and ^(B)whole burnt offerings and offerings ^(C)for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), ⁹ then He ^[a]said, “^(D)Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ By ^[b]this will, we have been ^(E)sanctified through ^(F)the offering of ^(G)the body of Jesus Christ ^(H)once for all time.

¹¹ Every priest stands daily ministering and ^(I)offering time after time the same sacrifices, which ^(J)can never take away sins; ¹² but He, having offered one sacrifice ^(K)for ^[c]sins ^(L)for all time, ^(M)sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting from that time onward ^(N)until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering He has ^(O)perfected ^(P)for all time those who are ^[d]sanctified. ¹⁵ And ^(Q)the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

He then says,

¹⁸ Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.

A New and Living Way

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we ^(T)have confidence to ^(U)enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by ^(V)a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through ^(W)the veil, that is, through His flesh, ²¹ and since we have ^(X)a great priest ^(Y)over the house of God, ²² let’s ^(Z)approach God with a ^[e]sincere heart in ^(AA)full assurance of faith, having our hearts ^(AB)sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies ^(AC)washed with pure water. ²³ Let’s hold firmly to the ^(AD)confession of our ^(AE)hope without wavering, for ^(AF)He who promised is faithful; ²⁴ and let’s consider how ^(AG)to ^[f]encourage one another in love and ^(AH)good deeds, ²⁵ not abandoning our own ^(AI)meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but ^(AJ)encouraging one another; and all the more as you see ^(AK)the day drawing near.

³⁵ Therefore, do not throw away your ^(A)confidence, which has a great ^(B)reward. ³⁶ For you have need of ^(C)endurance, so that when you have ^(D)done the will of God, you may ^(E)receive ^[a]what was promised.

³⁹ But ^[b]we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith for the safekeeping of the soul.
