Hebrews 9:13-15

13For if 1the blood of goats and bulls and 2the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the 3cleansing of the flesh, 14how much more will 4the blood of Christ, who through 5 6the eternal Spirit 7offered Himself without blemish to God, 8cleanse 9your conscience from 10dead works to serve 11the living God?

15For this reason 12He is the 13mediator of a 14new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been 15called may 16receive the promise of 17the eternal inheritance.
