Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body {is} of Christ.

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

For {it is} not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Be it known unto you therefore, men {and} brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, {even} the law of commandments {contained} in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, {so} making peace;

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? {spot: or, fault}

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, {which are} the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit {it}; neither shall {that} be done any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that...: or, it be magnified}

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

And the voice {spake} unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, {that} call not thou common.

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
