  • Heb 9:8-9 : 8 Whereby the holy Ghost this signified, that the way into ye Holiest of all was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing, 9 Which was a figure for that present time, wherein were offred gifts and sacrifices that could not make holy, concerning the conscience, him that did the seruice, 10 Which only stood in meates and drinkes, and diuers washings, and carnal rites, which were inioyned, vntill the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high Priest of good things to come, by a greater and a more perfect Tabernacle, not made with handes, that is, not of this building, 12 Neither by the blood of goates and calues: but by his owne blood entred he in once vnto the holy place, and obteined eternall redemption for vs. 13 For if the blood of bulles and of goates, and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling them that are vncleane, sanctifieth as touching the purifying of the flesh, 14 How much more shal the blood of Christ which through the eternall Spirit offered himselfe without fault to God, purge your conscience from dead workes, to serue the liuing God? 15 And for this cause is he the Mediatour of the newe Testament, that through death which was for the redemption of the transgressions that were in the former Testament, they which were called, might receiue the promise of eternall inheritance. 16 For where a Testament is, there must be the death of him that made the Testament.
  • Heb 10:1-9 : 1 For the Lawe hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto. 2 For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere. 4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes. 5 Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me. 6 In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God. 8 Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe) 9 Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second. 10 By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made. 11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes: 12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God, 13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole. 14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
