21 he sprinkled likewise the tabernacle with blood, and all the vessels used in divine service. 22 and indeed according to the law almost every thing is purified with blood, without the effusion of which, there is no remission of sins. 23 It was therefore necessary that what was only a type of the heavenly sanctuary, should be purified by such sacrifices; but the heavenly sanctuary itself, by a more excellent sacrifice. 24 for Christ is not entred into a sanctuary made by human art, such as is only representative of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear from henceforth in the presence of God on our behalf: 25 nor to make a frequent offering of himself, as the high priest every year enters into the holy of holies with other blood than his own. 26 for then must he have suffered several times since the beginning of the world, when in the consummation of the ages, he has appeared once for all to expiate sin by offering himself as a sacrifice. 27 as then it is appointed that men should die but once, after which the judgment ensues; 28 so Christ being once offered up to take away the sins of many; he shall appear the second time, without making any further expiation to save those who expect him.
