Hebrews 10

New International Version (NIV) Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All 10 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.

Hebrews 6

New International Version (NIV) 6 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so. 4 It is…
