Hebrews 9:11-26

Hebrews 9:11-26. Chiastic structure copied from Chiastic Analysis of the Epistle to the Hebrews, arranged by John Bligh (Athenaeum Press, Heythrop College, Oxon, England: 1966). Bligh's work is almost entirely in Greek. For website purposes, I have used unaccented Greek from the Unbound Bible, Nestle-Aland 26, at unbound.biola.edu
I have added English from the New American Standard Bible, revised.

A	11 cristoV de paragenomenoV arciereuV twn genomenwn agaqwn But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, dia thV meizonoV kai teleioteraV skhnhV He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, ou ceiropoihtou tout estin ou tauthV thV ktisewV not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12 oude di aimatoV tragwn kai moscwn and not through the blood of goats and calves, dia de tou idiou aimatoV but through His own blood,
	B	eishlqen efapax eiV ta agia He entered the holy place once for all, aiwnian lutrwsin euramenoV having obtained eternal redemption.
		C	13 ei gar to aima tragwn kai taurwn For if the blood of goats and bulls kai spodoV damalewV rantizousa touV kekoinwmenouV and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled agiazei proV thn thV sarkoV kaqarothta sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 posw mallon to aima tou cristou how much more will the blood of Christ,
			D	oV dia pneumatoV aiwniou who through the eternal Spirit
				E	eauton proshnegken amwmon tw qew offered Himself without blemish to God,
					F	kaqariei thn suneidhsin hmwn apo nekrwn ergwn cleanse your conscience from dead works eiV to latreuein qew zwnti to serve the living God?
						G	15 kai dia touto diaqhkhV kainhV mesithV For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, estin opwV qanatou genomenou eiV apolutrwsin so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption twn epi th prwth diaqhkh parabasewn of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, thn epaggelian labwsin oi keklhmenoi those who have been called may receive the promise thV aiwniou klhronomiaV of the eternal inheritance. 16 opou gar diaqhkh For where a covenant is, qanaton anagkh feresqai tou diaqemenou there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. 17 diaqhkh gar epi nekroiV bebaia For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, epei mhpote iscuei ote zh o diaqemenoV for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. 18 oqen Therefore oude h prwth cwriV aimatoV egkekainistai even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
							H	19 lalhqeishV gar pashV entolhV For when every commandment had been spoken kata ton nomon upo mwusewV panti tw law by Moses to all the people according to the Law,
								I	labwn to aima twn moscwn [kai twn tragwn] he took the blood of the calves and the goats, meta udatoV with water kai eriou kokkinou kai usswpou and scarlet wool and hyssop,
							H*	auto te to biblion kai panta ton laon and ...both the book itself and all the people,
						G*	erantisen 20 legwn ...sprinkled... saying, touto to aima thV diaqhkhV hV eneteilato proV umaV o qeoV "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you." 21 kai thn skhnhn de kai panta ta skeuh thV leitourgiaV And ...both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry tw aimati omoiwV erantisen with the blood... in the same way he sprinkled 22 kai scedon en aimati panta kaqarizetai And ..., one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, kata ton nomon according to the Law kai cwriV aimatekcusiaV ou ginetai afesiV and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 9:23 anagkh oun ta men upodeigmata Therefore it was necessary for the copies twn en toiV ouranoiV toutoiV kaqarizesqai of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these,
					F*	auta de ta epourania kreittosin qusiaiV para tautaV but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
				E*	24 ou gar eiV ceiropoihta eishlqen agia cristoV For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, antitupa twn alhqinwn all eiV auton ton ouranon a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, nun emfanisqhnai tw proswpw tou qeou uper hmwn now to appear in the presence of God for us;
			D*	25 oud ina pollakiV prosferh eauton nor was it that He would offer Himself often,
		C*	wsper o arciereuV eisercetai eiV ta agia kat eniauton en aimati allotriw as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own. 26 epei edei auton pollakiV paqein Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often apo katabolhV kosmou since the foundation of the world;
	B*	nuni de apax epi sunteleia twn aiwnwn but now once at the consummation of the ages
A*	eiV aqethsin [thV] amartiaV dia thV qusiaV autou pefanerwtai He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
