Hebrews 9:8-10

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁸ This is how the Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not yet open to everybody. It was not open as long as the first house was still standing.

⁹ This first part is a picture of the time we are in now. In it gifts and sacrifices are made to God. But they cannot make a person's heart clean to worship God.

¹⁰ These are only things to eat and drink and different kinds of washings. They are laws made for the body until the time when everything is made right again.
