  • Heb 10:4-9 : 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me. 6 You were not pleased with whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin. 7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come—it is written about Me in the scroll of the book—to do Your will, O God.'" 8 After saying above that sacrifices, offerings, whole burnt offerings, and offerings for sins You did not desire nor were pleased with—which are offered according to the law— 9 then He said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will.' He takes away the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. 12 But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God.

  • Heb 7:23-28 : 23 Now there have been many priests since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest truly meets our need: one who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He does not need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints men who are weak as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
  • Heb 9:22-28 : 22 Indeed, according to the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23 Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. 25 Nor did He enter to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise, He 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 put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for humans to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for Him.

You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
