Hebrews 9:16 WBT

¹⁴  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁵  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

¹⁶  For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

¹⁷  For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

¹⁸  Hence even the first [testament] was not dedicated without blood.
