Hebrews 9:11

Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary

9:11 But now Christ has come ¹  as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

Hebrews 9:25

9:25 And he did not enter to offer ²  himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

Hebrews 11:5

11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.

Hebrews 12:25

12:25 Take care not to refuse the one who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the one who warns from heaven?

Hebrews 13:9

13:9 Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. ³  For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, ⁴  which have never benefited those who participated in them.

² tn Grk “and not that he might offer,” continuing the previous construction.

³ tn Grk “by diverse and strange teachings.”

⁴ tn Grk “foods,” referring to the meals associated with the OT sacrifices (see the contrast with the next verse; also 9:9-10; 10:1, 4, 11).
