22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and (A)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

23 Thus it was necessary for (B)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (C)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (D)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (E)the high priest enters (F)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (G)he has appeared (H)once for all (I)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as (J)it is appointed for man to die once, and (K)after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once (L)to bear the sins of (M)many, will appear (N)a second time, (O)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly (P)waiting for him.
