Hebrews 9:23-Hebrews 10:18 - Christ's Death Takes Away Sins

²³ While, then, it was necessary that the copies of the heavenly things should be cleansed by such sacrifices, the heavenly things themselves required nobler sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For it was not into a Sanctuary made by hands, a mere type of the reality, that Christ entered, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the very presence of God on our behalf. ²⁵ Nor did he enter to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest entered into the sanctuary, year after year, with blood that was not his own; ²⁶ (for in that case he would have needed to suffer repeatedly, ever since the foundation of the world;)but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, he has appeared to abolish sin, but the offering of himself. ²⁷ And since it is appointed to men once to die, and after that the judgment; ²⁸ so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

¹ For the Law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not their very substance, its priests cannot with the same sacrifice which year after year they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. ² Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshippers having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sin. ³ But on the other hand, in these sacrifices sins are called to memory, year after year. ⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.

⁵ It is for this reason that the Christ, on coming into the world, declared. Sacrifice and offerings thou dost not desire, But a body didst thou prepare for me; ⁶ In whole burnt offerings and sin offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure. ⁷ Then I said, "I am come??n the roll of the book it is written of me??o do thy will, O God."

⁸ First when it is said, Thou hast no longing for, thou takest no delight in Sacrifices and offerings, or whole burnt offerings and sin offerings, ⁹ (offerings regularly made under the law), and then it is added, Lo, I come to do thy will, he does away with the first, in order that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ And it is by this will that we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ For while every priest stands, day after day, at his ministrations, and many times repeats the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, ¹² this Priest, after offering one Sacrifice for sins, sat down forever on God's right hand; ¹³ henceforth waiting until his enemies be put as the footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For by one single offering he has perfected forever those whom he is sanctifying. ¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also gives his testimony, when he said:

¹⁶ "This is the covenant I will make with them After those days," says the Lord. "I will set my laws upon their hearts, And I will inscribe them on their minds."

¹⁷ Then he adds, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸ But when these have been remitted, there is no more any offering for sin.
