Hebrews 9:15-20

ABU(i) 15 And for this cause he is mediator of a new covenant, in order that, death having taken place, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be brought in the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead; since it is of no strength at all while the testator lives. 18 Wherefore, neither has the first been dedicated without blood. 19 For, when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying: 20 This is the blood of the covenant, which God enjoined in respect to you.
