¹⁷ He shall tear it open by its wings without severing it. Then the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire^[a] of pleasing odor to the Lord.^(A)

¹⁰ He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other, but he did not cut the birds in two.^(A)

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered^[a] for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you^[b] to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,^(A)

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish.^{(A) 20} He was destined before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake.^{(B) 21} Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your trust and hope are in God.

¹⁵ Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.^{(A) 16} Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

⁸ When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), ⁹ then he added, “See, I have come to do your will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ And it is by God’s will^[b] that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.^(B)

¹¹ And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.^{(C) 12} But when Christ^[c] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,”

²⁵ who was handed over for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.^(A)

³⁰ When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.^(A)

⁵⁰ Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last.^[a]
