And, for this cause, He is the Mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions against the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
being only (with meats and drinks and various immersions) ordinances of the flesh, imposed until a time of reformation. But Christ, having come as a High Priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hand (that is, not of this creation), nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, entered, once for all, into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And, for this cause, He is the Mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions against the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Wherefore, not even has the first covenant been dedicated without blood; 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." read more.
Moreover, both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service, he sprinkled in like manner with the blood. 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;

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. And the Holy Spirit also testifieth to us; for after He had said, "This is the covenant that I will covenant with them after those days," saith the Lord, "Putting my laws on their hearts, I will also write them upon their mind; and their sins and their iniquities I will in nowise remember any more." But where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places by the blood of Jesus, which He dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is, His flesh; and, having a Great Priest over the house of God; let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water,
