American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
12
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.
13
and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
14
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
15 And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,
15
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he,]
16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
17 And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
17
Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
18
And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
19
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
20
by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,
21 and [having] a great priest over the house of God;
21
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,
22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
