Hebrews 9:15-23 And this is why he is the negotiator of a new agreement, in order that as someone has died to deliver them from the offenses committed under the old agreement, those who have been offered it may receive the unending inheritance they have been promised.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And this is why he is the negotiator of a new agreement, in order that as someone has died to deliver them from the offenses committed under the old agreement, those who have been offered it may receive the unending inheritance they have been promised. ¹⁶ For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established, ¹⁷ for a will is valid only in the case of a person who is dead; it has no force as long as the testator is alive. ¹⁸ So even the old agreement could not be ratified without the use of blood. ¹⁹ For when Moses had told all the regulations of the Law to all the people, he took calves' and goats' blood, along with water, crimson wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled the roll of the Law and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This blood ratifies the agreement which God has commanded me to make with you." ²¹ The tent too and all the appliances used in the priestly service he sprinkled with blood in the same way. ²² In fact, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and unless blood is poured out nothing is forgiven. ²³ By such means, therefore, these things that were only copied from the originals in heaven had to be purified, but the heavenly originals themselves required far better sacrifices than these.
