\subsection{Hebrews 9}
\VS{1} Therefore indeed even the first had regulations of ministry, the earthly 
Holies. 
\VS{2} For the first tabernacle was furnished, in which [were] the 
lampstand and the table and the presentation of the breads, which is being 
said: Holy [things]. 
\VS{3} But after the second veil [was] the tabernacle being called 
Holy of Holies, 
\VS{4} having [a] golden altar and the ark of the 
contract\footnote{or ``testament'', ``covenant''} being covered on all sides 
with gold, in which [was a] golden jar containing manna and the budding rod of 
Aaron and the tablets of the contract\footnote{or ``testament'', 
``covenant''}, 
\VS{5} but above it Cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy 
seat, concerning which it is not [for] now to be talking in detail. 
\VS{6} But 
thus when these were furnished in --- on the one hand --- the first 
tabernacle, continually did the priests go in completing the ministry, 
\VS{7} but --- on the other hand --- in the second once [a] year only the chief 
priests [went in], not without blood which he offered in behalf of his own sins 
committed in ignorance and of those of the people, 
\VS{8} this 
explaining\footnote{or ``revealing''} the Holy Spirit, so that the way of 
the holy [ones] is not yet manifested while the first tabernacle was yet having 
continuance, 
\VS{9} which [is a] parable to the opportune-time\fnKairos{} being present, 
according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered not being able according 
to the conscience to complete the serving [one], 
\VS{10} but only upon food and drink and different washings, ordinances of the flesh 
until the opportune-time\fnKairos{} of reformation be imposed. 
\VS{11} But Christ being present, chief priest of the good coming to pass, 
through the greater and more complete\footnote{or ``perfect''} tabernacle 
not made with hands, this is not of this creation, 
\VS{12} nor through blood of goats and calves, but 
through his own blood he entered once and for all into the Holies, having 
found eternal redemption. 
\VS{13} For if the blood of goats and calves and 
ashes of cows sprinkling those defiled makes holy towards the purity of the 
flesh, 
\VS{14} how much rather the blood of Christ, which through [the] eternal 
spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from 
dead works to serving the zoe-living\fnZoe{} God. 
\VS{15} And through this [last will and] 
testament\footnote{or ``through this new testament is [a] mediator"} is [a] new 
mediator, in order that when death come to pass for [the] redemption of 
transgressions against the first contract\footnote{or ``testament'', 
``covenant''}, those called may receive the good-news of the eternal 
inheritance. 
\VS{16} For where [there is a last will and] testament\footnote{or ``contract'', 
``covenant''}, [it is] necessary death be brought [in] to make [the] testament\footnote{or 
``contract'', ``covenant''} [operative]. 
\VS{17} For [the] testament\footnote{or 
``contract'', ``covenant''} upon dead [ones] is certain, since it is never in 
force when the [one] making the testament\footnote{or ``contract'', ``covenant''} 
lives. 
\VS{18} Wherefore not even the first was renewed apart from blood. 
\VS{19} For when every commandment according to the law was spoken by Moses 
to all the people, taking the blood of goats and calves with water and 
scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the scroll and all the people, 
\VS{20} saying, This is the blood of the testament\footnote{or ``contract'', 
``covenant''} which the Lord commanded to you. 
\VS{21} And the tabernacle 
and all the vessels of ministry he likewise sprinkled with blood. 
\VS{22} And nearly everything is cleansed with blood according to the law, and apart 
from shedding of blood, forgiveness does not come to pass. 
\VS{23} Therefore 
[there is] necessity the copy of the [things] in the heavens be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things [are cleansed] by [a] greater sacrifice beside these [things]. 
\VS{24} For not into [a] Holies made with hands did Christ enter, 
corresponding to the true, but into the heavenly [one] now to appear to God's 
face in our behalf; 
\VS{25} not in 
order that he often offer himself, as the chief-priest entered into the 
Holies yearly with another's blood, 
\VS{26} since it was necessary he often 
suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once to the consummation of 
eternity for the setting-aside of sins through his sacrifice he is revealed. 
\VS{27} And to the degree it is appointed to men once to die, but after this 
[is] judgment, 
\VS{28} likewise also Christ, once being offered for [an] offering 
for [the] sins of many, will be seen [a] second [time] without sin to him eagerly waiting for deliverance.
