Hebrews 9:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant,^[a] in order that those called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—since a death has taken place that redeems them from violations under the first covenant. ¹⁶ For where there is a covenant, the death of the one who made it must be established. ^{[b] 17} For a covenant is secured upon the basis of dead bodies, since it has no strength as long as the one who made it lives.
