9. then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first to establish the second.
10. By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11. And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.
12. But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13. where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.
14. For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
15. And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us, for after saying,
16. “This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,”
17. then he says, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”
18. Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
19. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
20. by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
21. and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22. let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.
23. And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.
24. And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,
