3
Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18

But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
8
By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18

16
In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18

18
That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
19
For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18

22
According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18

25
Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
26
Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
Hebrews 10
3
Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
4
because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Read from ESV · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
9
Then He adds, "Here I am, I have come to do Your will." He takes away the first to establish the second.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
10
And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
11
Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
12
But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
13
Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
14
because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
15
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:Read from ESV · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
16
"This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds."Read from NKJV · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
17
Then He adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.8:10-10:18
18
And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.Read from ESV · (Hebrews) ch.10:19-39
19
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,Read from KJV · (Hebrews) ch.1:1-3:8

23
Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.Read from ESV · (Hebrews) ch.10:19-39
26
If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,Read from NASB1995 · The Power of True Grace
27
but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.Read from NASB1995 · Don't Neglect This Great Salvation
28
Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.Read from NASB1995 · The Principles by Which Jesus Lived

For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge His people."Read from ESV · (Hebrews) ch.10:19-39
31
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.Read from NASB1995 · (Hebrews) ch.10:19-39
