Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

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

and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.
