22. And nearly everything is purified in blood according to the Torah, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23. Therefore it was necessary for the replicas of these heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices—but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24. For Messiah did not enter into Holies made with hands—counterparts of the true things—but into heaven itself, now to appear in God’s presence on our behalf.
25. And He did not offer Himself again and again—as the kohen gadol enters into the Holy of Holies year after year with blood that is not his own.
26. For then He would have needed to suffer again and again from the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has been revealed once and for all at the close of the ages—to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27. And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this judgment,
28. so also Messiah, was offered once to bear the sins of many. He will appear a second time, apart from sin, to those eagerly awaiting Him for salvation.
