Hebrews 9:21-23

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²¹ In the same way, he put some of the blood on the house he had made for God, and on all the things that were used in worship.

²² Yes, by the old law almost everything is made clean with blood. If no animal is killed to give blood, then there is no way for people to be forgiven for the wrong things they have done.

²³ These things on earth show in a little way what things in heaven are like. The things on earth had to be cleaned by the blood of animals. But the things in heaven had to be cleaned with better sacrifices than these.
