Hebrews:9:12-17

*
and not with the blood of goats and calves ,
but with his own blood ,
into the holy place ,
and thereby found eternal redemption .
*
For if the blood of goats and bulls ,
and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled ,
makes them holy as regards purity of their flesh ,
*
how much more will the blood of Christ ,
who through an eternal Spirit offered himself an unblemished sacrifice to God ,
cleanse our consciences from dead works for the service of the living God .
*
For this reason he is the mediator of a better covenant that ,
a death having taken place for redemption from sins under the first covenant ,
those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance promised to them .
*
For where there is a last will and testament the death of the testator must be put in evidence .
*
For a will is valid in the case of the dead :
it never has any force while the testator is living .
