Hebrews 10:1-14

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very likeness of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, perfect those who come to them; else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, having been cleansed once for all, would have had no more conscience of sins. But in these sacrifices there is a remembrance of sins year by year;read more.
for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, He saith, "Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not wish, but a body didst Thou prepare for Me; in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hadst no pleasure. Then said I, 'Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it has been written concerning Me), to do Thy will, O God.'" Saving above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin," Thou didst not wish; neither hadst pleasure therein, which, indeed, are offered according to the law; then hath He said, "Lo, I have come to do Thy will." He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second: in which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest, indeed, stands daily ministering, and ofttimes offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but This Man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth awaiting until His foes shall be placed as a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He hath perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

1 Corinthians 5:7

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover was sacrificed, even, Christ;

Hebrews 9:19-28

for, when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, taking the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded in respect to you." Moreover, both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service, he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.read more.
And nearly all things are cleansed, according to the law, with blood; and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. There was, therefore, a necessity that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these. For Christ entered not into holy places made with hand, patterns of the true; but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf; nor yet, that He should many times offer Himself, as the high priest enters into the Holies every year with blood not His own; else had it been needful for Him ofttimes to suffer since the founding of a world; but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, He hath been manifested for the putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself. And inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this comes judgment; so also Christ, having once for all been offered to bear the sins of many, will, to those who are eagerly waiting for Him; appear a second time apart from sin, unto salvation.

Hebrews 10:1

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very likeness of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, perfect those who come to them;

Hebrews 13:11-13

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place through the priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore, Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered without the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach;

Revelation 5:6

And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
