Hebrews 9:13-22

13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,

14how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to 1God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship [the] living 2God?

15And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

16(For where [there is] a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.

17For a testament [is] of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)

18Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.

19For every commandment having been spoken according to [the] law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

20saying, This [is] the blood of the covenant which 3God has enjoined to you.

21And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;

22and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
