Hebrews 9:15-22 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. ¹⁶ For where a will is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. ¹⁷ For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. ¹⁸ This is why even the first covenant was not ratified without blood. ¹⁹ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you." ²¹ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship. ²² Indeed, under the law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
