Hebrews 9:11

Easy To Read Version

But Christ has already come to be the high priest. {\cf2\super [104]} He is the high priest of the good things we now have. But Christ does not serve in a place like the tent that those other priests served in. Christ serves in a place that is better than that tent. It is more perfect. And that place is not made by men. It does not belong to this world.
