²⁸ And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

³⁴ And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel ^(A)once in the year because of all their sins.” And Aaron^[a] did as the Lord commanded Moses.

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

⁶ This is he who came ^(A)by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And ^(B)the Spirit is the one who testifies, because ^(C)the Spirit is the truth.

¹⁰ In this is love, ^(A)not that we have loved God ^(B)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be ^(C)the propitiation for our sins.

^2 (A)He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^(B)also for the sins of the whole world.

¹⁴ For by a single offering ^(A)he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

¹⁰ And by that will ^(A)we have been sanctified through the offering of ^(B)the body of Jesus Christ ^(C)once for all.

²⁶ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, ^(A)he has appeared ^(B)once for all ^(C)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

¹² he ^(A)entered ^(B)once for all into the holy places, not by means of ^(C)the blood of goats and calves but ^(D)by means of his own blood, ^(E)thus securing an eternal redemption.

¹⁰ For if ^(A)while we were enemies ^(B)we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^(C)his life. ¹¹ More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(D)reconciliation.
