Hebrews 9:15 DBY

¹³  For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

¹⁴  how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living God?

¹⁵  And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁶  (For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.

¹⁷  For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)
