Hebrews 9:7-17

7 But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people’s ignorance:
8 The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.
9 Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,
10 And divers washings and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.
11 But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
12 Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
15 And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.
