Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.
And the holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,
So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,

For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it.
