³ For ^(A)what the Law could not do, ^[a](B)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^(C)the likeness of ^[b]sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ so that the ^(D)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who ^(E)do not walk ^[c]according to the flesh but ^[d]according to the Spirit.

⁴ But when ^(A)the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, ^(B)born of a woman, born ^(C)under ^[a]the Law, ⁵ so that He might redeem those who were under ^[b]the Law, that we might receive the adoption as ^(D)sons and daughters.

^17 [a]In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to ^(A)the heirs of the promise ^[b](B)the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, ^[c]confirmed it with an oath, ¹⁸ so that by two unchangeable things in which ^(C)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to ^(D)the hope set before us. ^19 [d]This ^(E)hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which ^(F)enters ^[e]within the veil, ^20 (G)where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a ^(H)high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

²² by the same extent Jesus also has become the ^[a](A)guarantee of ^(B)a better covenant.

¹⁴ how much more will ^(A)the blood of Christ, who through ^[a](B)the eternal Spirit ^(C)offered Himself without blemish to God, ^(D)cleanse your conscience from ^(E)dead works to serve ^(F)the living God?

¹⁵ For this reason ^(G)He is the ^(H)mediator of a ^(I)new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been ^(J)called may ^(K)receive the promise of ^(L)the eternal inheritance.

Benediction

²⁰ Now may ^(A)the God of peace, who ^(B)brought up from the dead the ^(C)great Shepherd of the sheep ^[a]through ^(D)the blood of the ^(E)eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, ^21 (F)equip you in every good thing to do His will, ^(G)working in us that ^(H)which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(I)to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
