Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings, and whole burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, and hadst no pleasure in them,"such as are offered in conformity to the Law, then hath he said, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He setteth aside the first, that he may establish the second. And in this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest indeed standeth performing daily service, and offering again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but he, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down for ever on the right hand of God, thenceforth waiting until his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified.

But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God!

And almost all things are according to the Law purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf. Nor yet to make an offering of himself many times, as the highpriest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he have suffered many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world he hath appeared, to put away sin by means of his sacrifice. And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment; so also Christ having been once offered up to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, without sin, for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.

For the Law but shadowing forth the good things to come, and not having the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come with them perfect.

The first covenant, then, had indeed ordinances of religious service, and a worldly sanctuary.

which had the golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, wherein was the golden pot containing the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubs of glory, overshadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now these things being thus prepared, into the first tabernacle indeed the priests enter at all times, performing the services; but into the second the highpriest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people; the Holy Spirit clearly showing this, that the way into the sanctuary hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing: which is a figure for the present time, in accordance with which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which have no power as to the conscience to perfect the worshipper, being only ordinances pertaining to the flesh, which in addition to meats and drinks and divers washings are imposed until the time of reformation. But Christ having appeared, as a highpriest of the good things to come, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, and obtained for us everlasting redemption.

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who by his everlasting spirit offered himself without spot to God, purify your conscience from dead works, for the worship of the living God!

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all, who by interpretation is first King of righteousness, and then also was King of Salem, which is, King of peace, without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever. read more.
Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils. And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham; but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. And beyond all contradiction the less is blessed by the greater. And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth. And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham; for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron? For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law. For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar; for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."
