'Entered' is the correct answer. (The KJV and the NIV also use the same word.) The verse is part of passage telling of the heavenly sanctuary.

To put the verse in context, here's how Hebrews 9:11-12 reads in the NKJV: "But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption."

The verse is part of a passage which explains all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and God's righteousness is through faith.

Romans was written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. Some people refer to Romans as "the bull's eye" of the Bible when it comes to faith and salvation as well as Christian living.
