men
are
dead

to
the

may
almost say,

not into a
holy place
made with hands, like
in
pattern
to

the face
of God for us:

not entered
into the
holy places
made with hands, which
are
the figures
of
the
true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in
the presence
of God for us:

by
year with blood not
his
own
;

the end of the ages
hath he been
manifested
to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

as it is appointed unto men once to die, and
after this `cometh'
judgment ;

after this the
judgment :
so Christ also,
having
been
once offered to bear the sins of many ,
shall appear a
second time ,
apart
from
sin ,
to
them
that
wait
for
him,
unto salvation.
So Christ was
once offered to bear the sins of many ;
and
unto
them
that
look
for
him
shall he
appear the
second time without
sin unto salvation.
