Hebrews 9:15-24 And this is why He is the Mediator of a new covenant, in order that, after He had suffered death for securing redemption from the offenses committed under the first covenant, those who had been invited to share it might obtain the eternal inheritance promised them.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And this is why He is the Mediator of a new covenant, in order that, after He had suffered death for securing redemption from the offenses committed under the first covenant, those who had been invited to share it might obtain the eternal inheritance promised them. ¹⁶ For when a will is made, it is necessary that the death of him who makes it be proved. ¹⁷ For a will is valid only after a man is dead, since it has no force whatever while the one who made it is alive. ¹⁸ So not even the first covenant was ratified without the use of blood. ¹⁹ For after every regulation in the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, crimson wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled the book containing the law and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood that ratifies the covenant which God commanded me to make with you." ²¹ In the same way he sprinkled with blood the tent and all the utensils of the priestly service. ²² In fact, under the law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood no forgiveness is granted. ²³ So, on the one hand, the copies of the original things in heaven had to be purified with such sacrifices; but on the other hand, the original things themselves in heaven with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For it was not a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, that Christ entered, but it was into heaven itself that He went, in order now to appear for us in the very presence of God.
