⁹ For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(A) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^(B)

²⁵ Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place^(A) every year with blood that is not his own.^{(B) 26} Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.^(C) But he has appeared^(D) once for all^(E) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.^{(F) 27} Just as people are destined to die once,^(G) and after that to face judgment,^{(H) 28} so Christ was sacrificed once^(I) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,^(J) not to bear sin,^(K) but to bring salvation^(L) to those who are waiting for him.^(M)
