Hebrews 9:22-28

Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

²² Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and _f without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

²³ Thus it was necessary for _g the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ has entered, not into holy places _h made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God _i on our behalf. ²⁵ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as _j the high priest enters _k the holy places every year with blood not his own, ²⁶ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, _l he has appeared _m once for all _n at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And just as _o it is appointed for man to die once, and _p after that comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ, having been offered once _q to bear the sins of _r many, will appear _s a second time, _t not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly _u waiting for him.
