Hebrews 9:25

KJ21
Nor yet should He offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place with blood of others every year;
ASV
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;
AMP
nor did He [enter into the heavenly sanctuary to] offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
AMPC
Nor did He [enter into the heavenly sanctuary to] offer Himself regularly again and again, as the high priest enters the [Holy of] Holies every year with blood not his own.

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
CSB
He did not do this to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.
CSBA
He did not do this to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.
CEB
He didn’t enter to offer himself over and over again, like the high priest enters the earthly holy place every year with blood that isn’t his.
CJB
Further, he did not enter heaven to offer himself over and over again, like the cohen hagadol who enters the Holiest Place year after year with blood that is not his own;
CEV
Christ did not have to offer himself many times. He wasn't like a high priest who goes into the most holy place each year to offer the blood of an animal.
DARBY
nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;
DLNT
Nor did He enter in order that He might offer Himself often— as indeed the high priest enters into the Holies yearly with the blood belonging-to-another—
DRA
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:
ERV
The high priest enters the Most Holy Place once every year. He takes with him blood to offer. But he does not offer his own blood like Christ did. Christ went into heaven, but not to offer himself many times like the high priest offers blood again and again.
EASY
The leader of the priests here on earth goes into the Most Holy Place every year. Each time, he takes with him the blood of an animal and he offers it to God. But when Christ went into heaven to offer himself to God, he did not do that again and again.
EHV
And he did not enter to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own.
ESV
Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
ESVUK
Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
EXB
The high priest enters the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things; T Holy of Holies] once every year with blood that is not his own. But Christ did not offer himself many times.
GNV
Not that he should offer himself often, as the high Priest entered into the Holy place every year with others’ blood,
GW
Every year the chief priest went into the holy place to make a sacrifice with blood that isn’t his own. However, Christ didn’t go into heaven to sacrifice himself again and again.
GNT
The Jewish high priest goes into the Most Holy Place every year with the blood of an animal. But Christ did not go in to offer himself many times,
HCSB
He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.
ICB
The high priest enters the Most Holy Place once every year. He takes with him blood that is not his own blood. But Christ did not go into heaven to offer himself many times.
ISV
Nor did he go into heaven 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.
PHILLIPS
It was necessary for the earthly reproductions of heavenly realities to be purified by such methods, but the actual heavenly things could only be made pure in God’s sight by higher sacrifices than these. Christ did not therefore enter into any holy places made by human hands (however truly these may represent heavenly realities), but he entered Heaven itself to make his appearance before God as High Priest on our behalf. There is no intention that he should offer himself regularly, like the High Priest entering the holy of holies every year with the blood of another creature. For that would mean that he would have to suffer death every time he entered Heaven from the beginning of the world! No, the fact is that now, at this point in time, the end of the present age, he has appeared once and for all to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as surely as it is appointed for all men to die and after that pass to their judgment, so it is certain that Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many and after that, to those who look for him, he will appear a second time, not this time to deal with sin, but to bring them to full salvation.

nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy places year by year with blood that is not his own.
LEB
and not in order that he can offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the sanctuary year by year with blood not his own,
TLB
Nor has he offered himself again and again, as the high priest down here on earth offers animal blood in the Holy of Holies each year.
MSG
That accounts for the prominence of blood and death in all these secondary practices that point to the realities of heaven. It also accounts for why, when the real thing takes place, these animal sacrifices aren’t needed anymore, having served their purpose. For Christ didn’t enter the earthly version of the Holy Place; he entered the Place Itself, and offered himself to God as the sacrifice for our sins. He doesn’t do this every year as the high priests did under the old plan with blood that was not their own; if that had been the case, he would have to sacrifice himself repeatedly throughout the course of history. But instead he sacrificed himself once and for all, summing up all the other sacrifices in this sacrifice of himself, the final solution of sin.
