Hebrews 9:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.(A) 24 For the Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model[a] of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that He might now appear in the presence of God for us.(B) 25 He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.(C)

Hebrews 9:23-25
New International Version
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(A) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;(B) he entered heaven itself,(C) now to appear for us in God’s presence.(D) 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place(E) every year with blood that is not his own.(F)
