Now when these things were thus disposed, the priests entered continually into the first tabernacle indeed, performing the divine services: but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people: the Holy Ghost thus signifying, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the first tabernacle held its station; read more.
which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services, as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation. But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that, death being suffered for the redemption of transgressions committed against the first testament, they who are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, of necessity the death of the testator is implied. For a testament is valid when men are dead; for else it is of no efficacy whilst the testator is alive. Wherefore also that first testament was not consecrated without blood. For when every command according to the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of 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 testament which God hath enjoined unto you. And the tabernacle also, and all the vessels employed in the divine service, he in like manner sprinkled with blood. And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin. There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us: and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own, (for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world:) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.

And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin. There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us: and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own, (for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world:) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself. And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ having been once offered in sacrifice to bear the sins of men, will appear the second time without sin, to those who expect him, for their salvation.
And the tabernacle also, and all the vessels employed in the divine service, he in like manner sprinkled with blood. And almost all things are purified by blood according to the law, and without effusion of blood there is no remission of sin.

NOW the law, having a shadow of the good things which were to come, not the very substance of the things, cannot possibly, by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those perfect who approach [God]; else they would have discontinued to make the offering, because they who performed the service being once made clean, would have had no more sense of sins on their conscience. But in these [sacrifices] there is a commemoration of sins every year. read more.
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me: thou hast had no delight in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin: then I said, Here am I; (in the volume of the book it is written of me) I come to do thy will, O God." Having said before that sacrifice, and oblation, and whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou hast not chosen, nor takest pleasure in, (which are offered according to the law,) he then added, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He abolishes the first that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
