Hebrews 9:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.
