Hebrews 9:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 and not through (A)the blood of goats and calves, but (B)through His own blood, He (C)entered the holy place (D)once for all time, [a]having obtained (E)eternal redemption. 13 For if (F)the blood of goats and bulls, and (G)the [b]ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the [c]cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will (H)the blood of Christ, who through [d](I)the eternal Spirit (J)offered Himself without blemish to God, (K)cleanse your conscience from (L)dead works to serve (M)the living God?

Hebrews 9:12-14
Amplified Bible
12 He went once for all into the Holy Place [the Holy of Holies of heaven, into the presence of God], and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, having obtained and secured eternal redemption [that is, the salvation of all who personally believe in Him as Savior]. 13 For if the sprinkling of [ceremonially] defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a [burnt] heifer is sufficient for the cleansing of the body,(A) 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal [Holy] Spirit willingly offered Himself unblemished [that is, without moral or spiritual imperfection as a sacrifice] to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the ever living God?
