15 Therefore he is (M)the mediator of a new covenant, so that (N)those who are called may (O)receive the promised eternal inheritance, (P)since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.[c] 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For (Q)a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(A) but he entered the Most Holy Place(B) once for all(C) by his own blood,(D) thus obtaining[a] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(E) and the ashes of a heifer(F) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(G) offered himself(H) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(I) from acts that lead to death,[b](J) so that we may serve the living God!(K)

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(L) of a new covenant,(M) that those who are called(N) may receive the promised(O) eternal inheritance(P)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(Q)

16 In the case of a will,[c] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
