21 And he likewise also sprinkled the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry, with blood. 22 And according to the law, almost all things are purified by blood; and without the shedding of blood there is no remission. 23 Therefore it is necessary that the pattern of the things in these heavens be purified; and the heavenly things themselves with greater sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not come into the sanctuaries made with hands, the pattern of the true; but into heaven itself, now to be made manifest unto the face of God in our behalf: 25 neither in order that he may frequently offer up himself, as the high priest goes into the holies once a year with the blood of another; 26 since it behooved him frequently to suffer from the foundation of the world: but now in the end of the ages he has been made manifest unto the removal of sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this is the judgment: 28 so also Christ, having once been offered up to bear away the sins of many, will appear the second time apart from sin unto salvation to those expecting him.
