Hebrews 9:13-22

13ForG1063 ifG1487 theG3588 bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 bullsG5022 andG2532 the ashesG4700 of a heiferG1151 sprinkledG4472 on those who areG3588 ceremonially uncleanG2840 sanctifyG37 them so thatG4314 their bodiesG4561 are cleanG2514, 14how muchG4214 moreG3123 will theG3588 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 HimselfG1438 unblemishedG299 to GodG2316, purifyG2511 ourG14731 consciencesG4893 fromG575 worksG2041 of deathG3498, so thatG1519 we may serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316!

15

ThereforeG1223G3778 Christ isG1510 the mediatorG3316 of a newG2537 covenantG1242, so thatG3704 those whoG3588 are calledG2564 may receiveG2983 theG3588 promisedG1860 eternalG166 inheritanceG2817, now that He has diedG2288G1096 toG1519 redeemG629 them from theG3588 transgressionsG3847 committed underG1909 theG3588 firstG4413 covenantG1242.

16

In the case ofG3699 a willG1242,2 it is necessaryG318 to establishG5342 the deathG2288 of theG3588 one who madeG1303 it, 17becauseG1063 a willG1242 does not take effectG949 untilG1909 theG3588 one who madeG1303 it has diedG3498; it cannot be executedG4218G3361G2480 whileG3753 he is still aliveG2198.

18That is whyG3606 even theG3588 firstG4413 covenant was not put into effectG3761G1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. 19ForG1063 when MosesG3475 had proclaimedG2980 everyG3956 commandmentG1785 ofG2596 theG3588 lawG3551 to allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, he tookG2983 theG3588 bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 goatsG5131,3 along withG3326 waterG5204, scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 theG3588 scrollG975 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, 20sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is theG3588 bloodG129 of theG3588 covenantG1242, whichG3739 GodG2316 has commandedG1781 youG4771 to keep.”4

21

In the same wayG3668, he sprinkledG4472 withG3588 bloodG129 theG3588 tabernacleG4633 andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 vesselsG4632 used inG3588 worshipG3009. 22According toG2596 theG3588 lawG3551, in factG2532, nearlyG4975 everythingG3956 must be purifiedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129, andG2532 withoutG5565 the shedding of bloodG130 there isG1096 noG3756 forgivenessG859.
