11 But Christ being now come, high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the sanctuary designed for eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctified to the purifying of the flesh,
14 how much more shall the blood of the Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the works of death to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, so that death intervening for the redemption of the rebellions that took place under the first testament, those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity intervene the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.
