The Just Live by Faith

26 For (A)if we sin willfully (B)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there (C)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and (D)fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three (E)witnesses. 29 (F)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, (G)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, (H)and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, (I)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” [a]says the Lord. And again, (J)“The Lord will judge His people.” 31 (K)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

12 Not (A)with the blood of goats and calves, but (B)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place (C)once for all, (D)having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if (E)the blood of bulls and goats and (F)the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [a]sanctifies for the [b]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [c]spot to God, (G)cleanse your conscience from (H)dead works (I)to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason (J)He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that (K)those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

The Mediator’s Death Necessary

16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For (L)a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(A) but he entered the Most Holy Place(B) once for all(C) by his own blood,(D) thus obtaining[a] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(E) and the ashes of a heifer(F) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(G) offered himself(H) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(I) from acts that lead to death,[b](J) so that we may serve the living God!(K)

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(L) of a new covenant,(M) that those who are called(N) may receive the promised(O) eternal inheritance(P)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(Q)

16 In the case of a will,[c] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
