Hebrews 9:13-22

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 56the 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. 16For where a 18covenant is, there must of necessity 19be the death of the one who made it. 17For a 20covenant is valid only when 21men are dead, 22for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. 18Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19For when every commandment had been 23spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, 24he took the 25blood of the calves and the goats, with 26water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both 27the book itself and all the people, 20saying, “28This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” 21And in the same way he 29sprinkled both the 30tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22And according to the 31Law, one may 32almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and 33without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
