A figure

For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you -- not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

The time

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn't receive the promise,

searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.

Gifts

Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

As pertaining

For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
