12. Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective for ever, and then he sat down at the right-hand side of God.
13. There he now waits until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet.
14. With one sacrifice, then, he has made perfect for ever those who are purified from sin.
15. And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says:
16. “This is the covenant that I will make with themin the days to come, says the Lord:I will put my laws in their heartsand write them on their minds.”
17. And then he says, “I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer.”
18. So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.
19. We have, then, my brothers and sisters, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus.
20. He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain — that is, through his own body.
