8 Although y he was a son, z he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And a being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,
11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest g of the good things that have come, [1] then through h the greater and more perfect tent (i not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he j entered k once for all into the holy places, not by means of l the blood of goats and calves but m by means of his own blood, n thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if o the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with p the ashes of a heifer, sanctify [2] for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will q the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit r offered himself without blemish to God, s purify our [3] conscience t from dead works u to serve the living God.
15 Therefore he is v the mediator of a new covenant, so that w those who are called may x receive the promised eternal inheritance, y since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. [4]
