Hebrews 9:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 Christ entered the Most Holy Place only once—and for all time. He did not take with him the blood of goats and calves. His sacrifice was his own blood. He entered the Most Holy Place and set us free from sin forever. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a cow are sprinkled on the people who are unclean and this makes their bodies clean again.
14 How much more is done by the blood of Christ. He offered himself through the eternal Spirit[a] as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will make our hearts clean from useless acts. We are made pure so that we may serve the living God.

Hebrews 9:12-14
New International Version
12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(A) but he entered the Most Holy Place(B) once for all(C) by his own blood,(D) thus obtaining[a] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(E) and the ashes of a heifer(F) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(G) offered himself(H) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(I) from acts that lead to death,[b](J) so that we may serve the living God!(K)
