Romans 3:21-26

21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Yeshua the Messiah to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua;
25 whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done before, in the forbearance of God;
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Yeshua.

Hebrews 7

1 For this Malki-Tzedek, king of Shalem, Kohen of El `Elyon, who met Avraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 to whom also Avraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Shalem, which is King of shalom;
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a Kohen continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Avraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the Kohen's office have a mitzvah to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the loins of Avraham,
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of Avraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
7 But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.
8 Here men who die receive tithes, but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives.
9 So to say, through Avraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
10 for he was yet in the loins of his father when Malki-Tzedek met him.
11 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it have the people received the law), what further need was there for another Kohen to arise after the order of Malki-Tzedek, and not be called after the order of Aharon?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no man has given attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Yehudah, as to which tribe Moshe spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Malki-Tzedek there arises another Kohen,
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly mitzvah, but after the power of an endless life:
17 for it is testified, "You are a Kohen forever, According to the order of Malki-Tzedek."
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing mitzvah because of its weakness and uselessness
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20 Inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath,
21 for they indeed have been made Kohanim without an oath; but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a Kohen forever, According to the order of Malki-Tzedek'".
22 By so much has Yeshua become the collateral of a better covenant.
23 Many, indeed, have been made Kohanim, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
26 For such a Kohen Gadol was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 who doesn't need, like those Kohenim Gedolim, to daily offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law appoints men Kohenim Gedolim, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

Hebrews 8

1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a Kohen Gadol, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tent, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3 For every Kohen Gadol is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this Kohen Gadol also have something to offer.
4 For if he were on eretz, he would not be a Kohen at all, seeing there are Kohanim who offer the gifts according to the law;
5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moshe was warned by God when he was about to make the tent, for, "See," he said, "that you make all things according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain."
6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "That I will make a new covenant with the house of Yisra'el and with the house of Yehudah;
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Mitzrayim; For they didn't continue in my covenant, And I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisra'el. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people.
11 They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, Every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all will know me, From the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."
13 In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

Hebrews 9

1 Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tent prepared, the first, in which were the menorah, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.
3 After the second veil, the tent which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aharon's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 and above it Keruvim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't now speak in detail.
6 Now these things having been thus prepared, the Kohanim go in continually into the first tent, accomplishing the services,
7 but into the second the Kohen Gadol alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.
8 The Ruach HaKodesh is signifying this, that the way into the Holy Place has not yet been revealed, while the first tent is yet standing;
9 which is an illustration of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;
10 being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
11 But Messiah having come as a Kohen Gadol of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:
14 how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 For this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
17 For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
19 For when every mitzvah had been spoken by Moshe to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you."
21 Moreover he sprinkled the tent and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.
22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Messiah entered not into a holy place made with hands, similar in pattern to the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us;
25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the Kohen Gadol enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
28 so Messiah also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Hebrews 10

1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
2 Or else wouldn't they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a memory made of sins year by year.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;
6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me) To do your will, God.'"
8 Saying above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law),
9 then has he said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yeshua the Messiah once for all.
11 Every Kohen indeed stands day by day ministering and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 henceforth expecting until his enemies to be made the footstool of his feet.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 The Ruach HaKodesh also testifies to us, for after he has said,
16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then,
17 "I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more."
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Yeshua,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 and having a great Kohen over the house of God;
22 let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,
23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.
24 Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 A man who has set at nothing Moshe' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people."
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
36 For you need patience, so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 "For yet a very little while, He who comes will come, and will not wait.
38 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
