Outline of Hebrews 9:25

Introduction: Law (then)	Jesus (now)
²⁵And 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, ²⁶for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world.	But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.

Future salvation	²⁷And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, ²⁸so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.

Impotence of the law	^10:1For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship. ²For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin? ³But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. ⁴For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.

Law (then)	Jesus (now)
⁵So when he came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,	but *a [willing]* body** you prepared for me.
⁶”Whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you took no delight in.	⁷”Then I said, ‘Here I am: I have come—it is written of me in the scroll of the book—to do your will, O God.’”
⁸When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin-offerings you did not desire nor did you take delight in them” (which are offered according to the law),	⁹then he says, “Here I am: I have come to do your will.”
He does away with the first	to establish the second.

¹⁰By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Impotence of the law	¹¹And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again—sacrifices that can never take away sins.

Future salvation	¹²But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. ¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
