9:11 But now Christ has come 1 as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 9:12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured 2 eternal redemption. 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled consecrated them and provided ritual purity, 3 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our 4 consciences from dead works to worship the living God.
9:15 And so he is the mediator 5 of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance he has promised, 6 since he died 7 to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant. 9:16 For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven. 8 9:17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive. 9:18 So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood. 9
