Hebrews 9:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]Neither by the blood of [b]goats and calves: but by his own blood entered he in once unto the holy place, and obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 (A)[c]For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling them that are unclean, sanctifieth as touching the [d]purifying of the flesh,
14 How much more shall the (B)blood of Christ which through the eternal Spirit offered himself without fault to God, (C)purge your conscience from [e]dead works, to serve the living God?

- Hebrews 9:12 Another comparison of the blood of sacrifices with Christ. The Levitical high Priests entering by their holy places into the Sanctuary, offered corruptible blood for one year only: but Christ entering into that holy body of his, entered by it into heaven itself, offering his own most pure blood for an everlasting redemption: For one selfsame Christ answereth both to the high Priest, and the Tabernacle, and the sacrifices, and offering themselves, as the truth to the figures, so that Christ is both the high Priest, and Tabernacle, and Sacrifice, yea, all these both truly, and forever.
- Hebrews 9:12 For in this yearly sacrifice of reconciliation, there were two kinds of sacrifices, the one a goat, the other a heifer, or calf.
- Hebrews 9:13 If the outward sprinkling of blood and ashes of beasts, was a true and effectual sign of purifying and cleansing, how much more shall the thing itself and the truth being present, which in times past was shadowed by those external Sacraments, that is to say, his blood which is in such sort man’s blood, that is also the blood of the Son of God, and therefore hath an everlasting virtue of purifying and cleansing, does it?
- Hebrews 9:13 He considereth the signs apart, being separate from the thing itself.
- Hebrews 9:14 From sins which proceed from death, and bring forth nothing but death.
