Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil --

for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build is God,

and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,

for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,

saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'

and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle,

and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;

and to a mediator of a new covenant -- Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!

for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp.

Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through his own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer;

And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus,
