²³ Therefore it was necessary for the ^(A)copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these things, but ^(B)the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ ^(C)did not enter a holy place made by hands, a mere copy of ^(D)the true one, but into ^(E)heaven itself, now ^(F)to appear in the presence of God for us; ²⁵ nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as ^(G)the high priest enters ^(H)the Holy Place ^(I)year by year with blood that is not his own. ²⁶ Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since ^(J)the foundation of the world; but now ^(K)once at ^(L)the consummation of the ages He has been ^(M)revealed to put away sin ^[a](N)by the sacrifice of Himself. ²⁷ And just as ^(O)it is destined for people to die once, and after this ^(P)comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ also, having been ^(Q)offered once to ^(R)bear the sins of many, will appear ^(S)a second time for ^(T)salvation ^(U)without reference to sin, to those who ^(V)eagerly await Him.
