11And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.(A) 12But when Christ[a] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,” 13and since then has been waiting “until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.”(B) 14For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds,”(C)
17and he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
A Call to Persevere
19Therefore, my brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,(D) 20by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh),(E) 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,(F) 22let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.(G) 23Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.(H) 24And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(I)

11Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(A) which can never take away sins.(B) 12But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(C) he sat down at the right hand of God,(D) 13and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.(E) 14For by one sacrifice he has made perfect(F) forever those who are being made holy.(G)
15The Holy Spirit also testifies(H) to us about this. First he says:
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.”[a](I)
17Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”[b](J)
18And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
A Call to Persevere in Faith
19Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence(K) to enter the Most Holy Place(L) by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way(M) opened for us through the curtain,(N) that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest(O) over the house of God,(P) 22let us draw near to God(Q) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,(R) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience(S) and having our bodies washed with pure water.(T) 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope(U) we profess,(V) for he who promised is faithful.(W) 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,(X) 25not giving up meeting together,(Y) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another(Z)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.(AA)
