Hebrews 9:23-25
International Standard Version
The Messiah’s Perfect Sacrifice
23 Thus it was necessary for these earthly[a] copies of the things in heaven to be cleansed by these sacrifices,[b] but the heavenly things themselves are made clean[c] with better sacrifices than these. 24 For the Messiah[d] did not go into a sanctuary made by human[e] hands that is merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear now in God’s presence on our behalf. 25 Nor did he go into heaven[f] to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

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)
