English Standard Version

⁹ (which is symbolic for the present age).^[a] According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered ^(A)that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, ¹⁰ but deal only with ^(B)food and drink and ^(C)various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

¹¹ But when Christ appeared as a high priest ^(D)of the good things that have come,^[b] then through ^(E)the greater and more perfect tent (^(F)not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) ¹² he ^(G)entered ^(H)once for all into the holy places, not by means of ^(I)the blood of goats and calves but ^(J)by means of his own blood, ^(K)thus securing an eternal redemption. ¹³ For if ^(L)the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with ^(M)the ashes of a heifer, sanctify^[c] for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more will ^(N)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^(O)offered himself without blemish to God, ^(P)purify our^[d] conscience ^(Q)from dead works ^(R)to serve the living God.
