- But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
- and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
- For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
- how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
- For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

- 但現在基督已經來到、作了將來美事的大祭司、經過那更大更全備的帳幕、不是人手所造也不是屬乎這世界的.
- 並且不用山羊和牛犢的血、乃用自己的血、只一次進入聖所、成了永遠贖罪的事。
- 若山羊和公牛的血、並母牛犢的灰、灑在不潔的人身上、尚且叫人成聖、身體潔淨.
- 何況基督藉著永遠的靈、將自己無瑕無疵獻給 神、他的血豈不更能洗淨你們的心〔原文作良心〕除去你們的死行、使你們事奉那永生 神麼。
- 為此他作了新約的中保.既然受死贖了人在前約之時所犯的罪過、便叫蒙召之人得著所應許永遠的產業。
