Hebrews 9:15-23

« Heb 8Heb 9Heb 10 »

15 And for this reason ^aHe is the ^bmediator of a ^cnew covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the trespasses that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been ^dcalled may ^ereceive the promise of ^fthe eternal inheritance. 16 For where a ¹covenant is, there must of necessity ²be the death of the one who made it. 17 For a ¹covenant is valid only when ²men are dead, ³for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been ^aspoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, ^bhe took the ^cblood of the calves and the goats, with ^dwater and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both ^ethe book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “^aThis is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” 21 And in the same way, both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he ^asprinkled with the blood. 22 And according to the ¹Law, one may ^aalmost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and ^bwithout shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Therefore it was necessary for the ^acopies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but ^athe heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
