Hebrews 9:8-15

Living_Oracles(i) 8 The Holy Spirit signifying this, that the way of the holy places was not yet laid open, while the first tabernacle was yet standing; 9 which was a figurative representation for the time being, during which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which can not, with respect to the conscience, make him who does the service perfect- 10 only with meats and drinks, and divers immersions- ordinances concerning the flesh, imposed till the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come-a High Priest of the good things to come-has, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, (that is to say, not of this building,) 12 entered once into the holy places, having obtained eternal redemption; not indeed, by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the polluted, sanctified to the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through an Eternal Spirit, offered himself without fault, to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And, for this reason, he is mediator of the new institution, that, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution, those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
