 26For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:

 25nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;
 26since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.
 27And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;

 8Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);
 9then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;
 10by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
 11And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
 12But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at the right hand of God, (Heb. 10:4‑12)
;
1 Peter 1:3,21• 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
 21who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among the dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God. (1 Peter 1:3,21)
• Now he goes farther, and, instead of speaking of their subjective state as a light reception of the truth, he points out that, if Christ has not been raised, as the gospel declares, the preaching of the apostles was objectively as empty (κενόν) as the faith of the saints.
