23 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own, 26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

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