Hebrews 9:10–18

¹⁰being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.↗

¹¹But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,↗

¹²nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.↗

¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,↗

¹⁴how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?↗

¹⁵For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.↗

¹⁶For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.↗

¹⁷For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.↗

¹⁸Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.↗
